Claudette Vaughan of Abolitionist-Online interviewed Gary Yourofsky in 2005. There were some strong statements made in this interview, many of which Gary was asked to comment on in his 2011 ARZone interview which can be found …

Matthew Calarco, PhD, Associate Prof of Philosophy, who lives in California with his dog, Nietzsche, became vegan at the age of 18, and has been concerned about both the environment and the oppression of both humans and other animals since then.

Matthew has written seven books, including Zoographies, in which he writes "While there is no widely agreed upon definition of what precisely constitutes animal studies, it…

This is a poem form the "institute for critical animal studies" journal, i found it particularly moving. this to my mind is the best example, i have come across, of the coming together two potentially very moving things. the kind of writing that is poetry and the oppression subjugation and harm that many non-human animals live every day.  for me this poem does not just talk about the disconnect between people that…

Very interesting study about the effects of categorising animals as food. Below is a brief summary and some of my thoughts on the matter but there is a lot more in the paper, which can be found here http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666311001413

The study seeks to understand “the effect of categorization as food on the perceived moral standing of animals”. it has been suggested…

An ex-vegan has created a website called Let Them Eat Meat, where he writes about veganism, poking holes in vegan logic, theory, philosophy.

The blog's author does a cogent, serious, fair, and thorough job exploring veganism (though at times he does not restrain himself from having some fun at veganism's expense, but this doesn't take away from the actual discussion), and as an ex-vegan he knows arguments in favor of veganism very well.  Any vegan proponent who supports open…

New blog post by ARRNT; a vegan abolitionist group in North Texas!  Taken from here:

https://arrnt.wordpress.com/

Hello there ARRNT and fellow supporters!  I’d like to take a moment and speak with you about what you can do, as individuals, to benefit other animals today!  Activist groups should be encouraged because of the camraderie and cooperation they bring, but it is, of course, always still important to realize…

A list of Frequently Asked Questions commonly heard by many vegans.

What is a vegan?

A vegan is one who fully respects the lives and well-being of others. A vegan strives to avoid harming others and does everything possible to avoid using any living being as a resource or a thing. A vegan doesn’t eat other animals and she does…

What is a counterfactual and why should you care? Suppose that I say, “If only Thomas Jefferson had championed the cause of the abolition of slavery then slavery in America would have been abolished when the United States was founded.” That’s a counterfactual. It poses a solution to a problem (or a cause for some effect) that runs counter to the facts as we know them. Why should you care?
