There can be NO human rights until you have animal rights…
people who kill animals are mentally predisposed to kill humans almost as easily. Violence begets violence.

Georgia is correct and nothing helps both animals and humans more than adapting a vegan diet.

Conner, cancer research is a sham considering eating the parts of animals causes it… read “The China Study”

what an idiotic response. criticizing the other person for not following your beliefs is not by any stretch support for your beliefs. Wasting your time dumping money into protecting stupid animals when you could be focusing on issues that actually matter isn’t the same thing as shopping instead of focusing on important issues. I also assume you were not at the store advocating veganism either? does that make your point null?

Animal rights is a sign that society is failing. People donating money to the aspca or Peta instead of humanitarian organizations in Africa or Cancer research. How disgusting! You people equate an animals life to that of a human being’s. I would kill ten thousand worthless animals for the life of a single person, and anyone who doesn’t agree with that is clearly delusional.

Considering that with the amount of food and water needed to raise 1 cow for beef/milk, 20 humans could eat and live, you are advocating human rights by advocating veganism, and whoevere eats meat and animal products is keeping children starving in third world countries. Fact!

If only animals subscribed to veganism, think how much better off we’d all be!

zhao, So… taken to it’s logical conclusion, you’re concept is that if you murder and then eat the person you killed, then it’s OK because eating them is a “good reason” to kill them. But if you just kill them through a hit and run drunk driving accident, then that’s not a good reason.

That last argument of yours is a red herring. There’s absolutely nothing related to avoiding killing a deer on a road versus eating it, other than the fact both dies.

One dies for no reason, another for a very good reason.

I'm a fairly recent vegan (2 months or so), and today was the first time I've had to buy shoes. I was on my way to work and stopped at Voldemart (my sandals got eaten by my dogs and I'm not allowed to wear flip-flops to work) for a new pair of sandals. I saw a cute pair and was about to pick them up and try them on when I saw the tag that proudly proclaimed they were made of real leather. I immediately put them down and found a pair that have no animal products. They're cuter, too. So at work I was telling a couple of my friends about it, and one of them asked why I couldn't buy leather. I explained and she got it. But the whole thing got me to thinking. I remember seeing, when I was 17 or 18, a museum exhibition from the Holocaust and being utterly horrified by a lampshade made of human skin. I wouldn't wear shoes made from human skin. Why should I wear shoes made from animal skin? Animals are sentient. Ask anyone who has a pet that s/he truly loves. What makes your dog any different from a cow, or a pig? And yes, I know there are people who clip the ears or tails of certain breeds of dogs, and I find that as disturbing as clipping the beaks of chicks. Being vegan is about so much more than what I eat. ~ Recent blog post: Wonder Woman! ~

Nothing else could make as big an impact on the lives of humans as does the mantra of the vegan.

Refusing to eat or use animal products directly and indirectly helps humans live healthier lives, greenhouse gas emissions from meat production pollute the skies, it’s disastrous for humans, animal waste pollutes our rivers and waterways, omni’s eat the fish, that’s disastrous for humans, rain forests are being decimated all in the name of providing soy and grain for food animals, it’s disastrous for humans, I’m sure you could add many more to this disastrous to humans list.

Perhaps when you are tabling or leafleting and someone says, what about helping the humans first!!, it may be an idea to have a leaflet with some of the aforementioned facts ready to answer their concerns and tell them they can make a contribution to helping humans at their very next meal by having a baked potato with vegan sour cream or a veggie burger.

Tell them we’re all in this together and point them in the direction of the nearest veggie restaurant
