December 20, 2015 Ruby Hamad Daily Life www.DailyLife.com.au Dear Ms. Hamad: I read your essay about racism and sexism in the “animal movement.” You state: This is the core of what is wrong with the mainstream vegan community today. So many of its adherents refuse to make the connection between human oppression and the exploitation […]
In 2012, the European Union “ban” on conventional battery cages for laying hens came into effect.

Some of my reasons for my position are more practical. For example, I do not think that the welfare reforms that are the subject […]
Our new book is now available. You can get it here. If people adopt a vegan diet for ethical reasons, everything changes. If they don’t adopt a vegan diet, they stay stuck with anti-fur protests and single-issue campaigns and nothing changes. ***** If you are not vegan, please go vegan. Veganism is about nonviolence. First […]
During race-based slavery in the United States, there were those who said that they believed that slavery should be abolished eventually (whatever that meant) but who refused to criticize the institution of slavery openly and call for its end, and, instead, campaigned for more “humane” slavery. And there were those who believed in abolition and […]

This Alert reads in part: PETA has pushed hard and will continue to push hard to reduce the sum total of suffering in the meat, dairy, and egg industries—because that makes a huge […]
