“It is worth reminding ourselves that the greatest joy and satisfaction in life come from actions we undertake out of concern for others.” – Dalai Lama
It is one thing to deny sentient beings affection. It is yet another to deny them life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

The ultimate protest!

To understand the compassionate movement of animal rights, empathy must be used to examine the issue from the animals’ point of view. This isn’t a radical concept either. Abolitionists looked at slavery through the eyes of subjugated blacks, just as the Allied Forces looked at Nazism through the eyes of Jews and other non-Aryans whom Hitler labeled unworthy and expendable. Empathy allows people to understand the injustice without over-analyzing the issue, especially when those in power deem the victims unworthy and expendable, something Hitler, slave-owners and meat-eaters have all done to their respective victims. ~Gary Yourofsky~

You will never forgive yourself if your child comes to harm and you didn’t act sooner.
If you can convince your young children that a rabbit can lay chicken eggs, then it shouldn’t be too hard for them to swallow the idea that:
- a cow’s bodily fluid is healthy for them.
- dolphins belong in swimming pools.
- God told Adam to name his animal friends so that they can later be added to a bloody menu.
Maybe it’s time we stopped lying to our own innocent offspring and ourselves. Go Vegan!
