The Basics of Vegan Behavior: Non-Violence to All Others

in #veganism7 years ago

Veganism isn't hard to understand. It's really simple to understand the morality of being vegan. Veganism excludes using other animals for our own personal gain: like for the pleasure of food to eat, entertainment like circuses, or clothes to wear.

Pretty simple so far, right?

Just leave the animals alone and only do things that help them.

Sounds simple enough putting it that way :)

Don't participate in any of the behavior that involves their harm, treating them like property, or where we only "help" them to satisfy our own personal gain (like making money off of them in some way).

This means vegans are not involved in supporting or participating in:

  • exploiting animals

  • enslaving animals

  • harming animals

  • violating animals

  • taking the lives of animals

This includes not:

  • eating them (no eating of flesh, i.e. meat/muscle)

  • eating what they produce (no eating/drinking milk, cheese, eggs, honey, etc.)

  • eating other by-products that come from their deaths (no eating gelatin, etc.)

  • using what comes from them (no using wool, fur, leather, etc.)

Veganism recognizes our fellow kin from the animal kingdom as having their own lives which we have no right to harm or take. They are fellow animal beings. We have no right to violate them by taking their lives or their freedom.

Any questions? :D

Be healthy, be moral, and thrive in life knowing you don't partake in direct and avoidable harm towards other fellow animals from the animal kingdom we belong to :D

Love the post I knew I would find some vegan brothers and sisters on here!

Thanks! Great! Veganism is the future!

There are LOTS of vegans on here @aristone ;) You just gotta get into the community! I started #veganwednesday to try to round us all together, you and #veganism should come by! Yay for vegans <3

Hi @veganism! Thanks for spreading the vegan message. In my opinion, it seems that a lot of the time, people just don't look at it this way. They are immune, desensitized to it all and don't see the problem with it. I know from my own personal mission that spreading knowledge and alternatives is really effective :) I also host #veganwednesday, you are most welcome to join if you ever want to get involved or meet some other vegans on here! Cheers my fellow vegan :) Thank you for fighting the good fight!
