Veganism Is Not A "sacrifice."

Veganism Is An Act Of Nonviolent Defiance. It Is Our Statement That We Reject The Notion That Animals Are Things And That We Regard Sentient Nonhumans As Moral Persons With The Fundamental Moral Right Not To Be Treated As The Property Or Resources Of Humans.

Speciesism Is Morally Objectionable Because, Like Racism, Sexism, And Heterosexism, It Links Personhood With An Irrelevant Criterion. Those Who Reject Speciesism Are Committed To Rejecting Racism, Sexism, Heterosexism, And Other Forms Of Discrimination As Well.

The Proposition That Humans Have Mental Characteristics Wholly Absent In Non-humans Is Inconsistent With The Theory Of Evolution.

99% Of Our Uses Of Animals, Including Our Numerically Most Significant Use Of Them For Food, Do Not Involve Any Sort Of Necessity Or Any Real Conflict Between Human And Nonhuman Interests. If Animals Matter Morally At All, Then, Even Without Accepting A Theory Of Animal Rights, Those Uses Of Animals Cannot Be Morally Justified.

There Is No Morally Coherent Difference Between Fur And Other Animal Clothing, Such As Leather, Wool, Etc., Just As There Is No Morally Coherent Distinction Between Meat And Milk Or Eggs.
