When you compare animal rights activists to pro life picketers and the westboro baptist church you are comparing the desire to oppress with the desire to stop oppression and it does nothing but show how super dumb you are stop it.

Veganism is a philosophy that animals are not here for human needs. If you’re drinking a glass of milk, it’s because a calf somewhere else is not.

I don’t really care how well the animals are treated. Their bodies are their own. You have no right to those products because although you may care for them, you don’t own them and you don’t “deserve” to treat yourself to their products.

“After looking at 34 published studies in 16 countries, researchers at Yale University found that countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis including the United States, Sweden, and Finland are those in which people consume the most meat, milk, and other animal foods.

Despite the dairy industry funding study after study to try to prove its claims that consuming dairy products will make your bones stronger, the truth is exactly the opposite.

The primary cause of osteoporosis is the high-protein diet most people consume today. Eating a high-protein diet is like pouring acid rain on your bones. (The protein increases production of acid in the blood which is then neutralized by calcium taken from our bones) Remarkably enough, if dairy has any effect, both clinical and population evidence strongly implicate dairy in causing, rather than preventing, osteoporosis.” ~ Dr John McDougall

my brother should see this. he eats meat like no other.

Sad news from Mozambique: Illegal poachers have killed all the rhinos in Limpopo National Park, a large wildlife reserve in the southeast African country, according to news reports.

Park director António Abacar was quoted as saying this week that no rhinos had been seen since January, “which means that the ones that lived in the park are probably dead,” according to the Portugal News.

With all the rhinos gone, poachers are now turning to elephants for their tusks. The horns and tusks are valued for their supposed medicinal value, despite the fact that horns are made of the same basic material as fingernails, with no healing properties. The park spans 4,247 square miles (11,000 square kilometers), an area more than twice the size of the U.S. state of Rhode Island.

Meanwhile, Scientific American reports that for the first time in 33 years, a hunter has been allowed to import a trophy into the United States from a black rhino he shot in Namibia, outraging conservationists.

How black a soul must one have to take the life of another for personal gain in any way, shape or form? I believe poaching should be approached on three accounts: 1. attacking and reducing the need for individuals to turn to illegal behavior in order to sustain themselves and their family or make money 2. Attack the issue at the forefront, guard and protect those parks and rhinos (or elephants) at any cost D: . There’s little wonder why LEWA guards have guns and a solid security system. and 3. Shutting down the avenues made available for the purchase of ivory and other illegal poaching goods. > btw, sorry for my personal rant there :) Kyo

Omg I love this blog! I've been a vegan for about 3 months now and reading all of this information makes me feel even more passionate about animal rights:) I was curious about ways I could educate more people about veganism besides not eating animal products.... I can't seem to get past the "being vegan is hard" argument because I come from a town where not a lot of people are educated about animal rights

I just only now received this!

But uhm, I would basically start out saying that vegans aren’t the only ones who eat plants, am I right? Meat eaters eat the same things we do! And substitutes aren’t necessary. That’s where things get pricey. But if people stick to natural foods like veggies, fruits, nuts, legumes, and grains they should be all set. If you shop around a bit or shop from local farmers you may be able to purchase cheaper.

People usually get angry over the whole animal rights thing. I start them out with health benefits and such since people are incredibly selfish. Tbh, talking about it doesn’t do much. People need to SEE it, because even if they’re aware an animal has died so they can eat it, they ignore how brutal this slaughtering process is. And if they can watch it and still feel nothing, I would be afraid of them for being so apathetic.

So basically, if “being vegan is hard,” they need to think about how hard it is for the animals that are being killed and tortured for their convenience.
