Reason #1 to be Vegan – Ethics

I consider it very important to live an ethical life.  So I try to apply ethical considerations to all parts of my life, including the food that I eat.  And I love animals.  All animals.  Not just the furry friends that share my home.  I believe in the worth and dignity of every being, including both humans and animals.  I actively promote compassion toward animals because I believe that there is plenty of compassion to go around.  It’s not a zero sum game.  I believe that we can extend compassion toward marginalized people and simultaneously include animals in our circle of compassion.  I would not be willing to personally kill an animal for food.  So I am not going to ask someone else to do it on my behalf.  That is why I have chosen ethical veganism.
