Listen HERE Here is the link to the Facebook thread: https://www.facebook.com/NZVegan/posts/532236813544913 It has died down now so I wasn't as time consuming as I thought. Good! Because I plan to do this more often as it needs to be done, as a lot of new vegans get sucked into welfare which is a terrible thing to happen. We need to expose new vegans to abolition as quickly as possible - if only at the very least to give them the option to see the alternative. Rather than them not even knowing i...

Listen HERE Or here: ***NOTE: I AM NO LONGER AFFILIATED WITH OR SUPPORT TAVS This is the quote from Gary Francione I mentioned: "To believe in a principle of justice and promote that principle clearly is not be "angry." That term is simply a way of putting the principle down by not focusing on the substance and, instead, focusing on the person articulating the principle. People always "like" people who don't challenge them but in the world in which you and I live, challenging others is what mora...

Listen HERE Relevant quote: "The fact that people won't go vegan immediately does not mean that we should ever promote anything less than veganism as morally okay. We ought always to be clear that if animals matter morally, we cannot justify consuming them. If someone who cares about animals wants to do less than go vegan, or want to go vegan in stages, let that be their choice and not our recommendation. We should *never* promote non-veganism as a morally good thing. We should *never* put a sta...

There is a *huge* difference between the two examples. As vegans, we are frustr...

My final episode was not my final episode after all :) This episode I address the one of the common issues arising from the dialogue about vegan advocacy, specifically those who say it is preferable to concentrate on the dietary and health aspect of veganism when advocating to people, rather than the moral issue. Needless to say, I disagree....

Listen HERE "People say that being a vegan creates a social problem in that others may react negatively. But isn't that the case if you take a principled position on any issue, whether it's racism, sexism, heterosexism, violence as a general matter—or speciesism? The key is to educate others about *why* you take the position." ~ Gary L.
