Why a former avid hunter became vegan ~ Cameron Blewett

Cameron Blewett came from a meat-eating household and for a time was a keen hunter; killing kangaroo, rabbits, deer, pigs, and other animals in the name of conservation. A cut finger led to his epiphany and journey to vegan activist and educator.



I was brought up in a totally meat-eating household. There were animal products served with pretty much every meal. Breakfast has some cereal with cow’s milk, and toast with butter, lunch was the usual… Continue

Discovery Channel Gunman Is Not an Ecoterrorist if I Am ~ Andy Stepanian

Instead of feeling relieved after Wednesday's crisis at the Discovery Channel building ended without injury to any of the hostages a small group of opportunistic pundits and special interest lobbyists salivated. The day they had been waiting for for quite some time had arrived; a sick man named James Lee, with a political agenda as

imbalanced as his mind had used potentially deadly violence in furtherance of what seemed to be an…

Sometimes Satan Comes As a Man of Peace ~ Tim Gier

He’s a great humanitarian, he’s a great philanthropist

He knows just where to touch you, honey, and how you like to be kissed

He’ll put both his arms around you

You can feel the tender touch of the beast

You know that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace

Bob Dylan

Lee Hall's Speech at the 2007 London Vegan Festival ~ Abolitionist Online

Lee Hall’s speech at the recent London Vegan Festival, which took a hard look at the international expansion and the “Animal Compassion” rhetoric

of the organic superstore Whole Foods Market, is a magnificent study in

how certain sections of the animal rights movement caved in to

financial interests and to self interest. In personal correspondence

with the editor of the Abolitionist, Lee Hall had this to…

Why I Am NOT a Veg*n ~ Barbara De Grande

Recently, on a vegan forum, I commented on the use of the term

“vegetarian” or “veg*n” rather than “vegan” while promoting animal

rights. It seemed to unleash a storm of criticism and ad hominem

attacks: “Someone is VERY NEW….,” ”so fundamentalist in nature,” ”is

there ANY evidence base whatsoever…? ” My comment was in response to

the posting of a…

The Army of the 12 Monkeys ~ Tim Gier

Sometimes things seem so hopeless, the odds so stacked against us, the obstacles

so great, that we want to lash out. If we could only grab the world by

their collective shoulders and shake some sense into them. Why can’t

people see what we can so plainly see?




Our cause is just and our motives are pure. Perhaps it is time to take action, to take it to the streets, to bring our…

Sea Vegans ~ Dr. Roger Yates





This blog entry is a brief update to an earlier one about whaling and

dolphin campaigns.[1] I pointed out in that earlier post that my

Japanese partner shared her countryfolk’s hatred of organisations like

Greenpeace who the Japanese see as hypocritically telling them what to

do in terms of animal use while they… Continue

What the eff is a veg*n? Adults spell out their political views and so can animal advocates ~ Vincent Guihan

I still remember, not so fondly, the first time I ever heard the word

'veg*n' pronounced out loud by someone. It was years ago, and only now

has the trauma subsided sufficiently that I can blog about it. I was on

a noisy, but relaxed, patio of a local cafe, drinking an espresso. I

had been vegan for a few years already and yet, the term was still new

to me. It was with a friend of a friend. He was just finishing some

lengthy and self-indulgent soliloquy about how… Continue

Why does Matt Ball keep picking on me? Promoting stereotypes about activists is unjustifiably mean ~ Vincent Guihan

I'm not sure why Matt Ball

is picking on me. He has written that “animal rights and veganism

attracts some people who are very angry and unable to get past their

anger." Maybe a small minority, but most vegans? Certainly not proper

animal rights advocates. "The movement also attracts many with an

extremist / fanatical personality – people who obsess over purity,

personal aggrandizement,… Continue

Joint Statement by a Group of Abolitionist Vegan Feminists for International Women's Week

As abolitionist vegans and feminists, we oppose the use of sexist

tactics in the animal advocacy movement. Ethical animal rights veganism

is part of the logical conclusion of opposition to the exploitation of

all sentient beings -- both human animals and non-human animals.

Opposing speciesism is incompatible with engaging in sexism or any

other form of discrimination, such as racism, heterosexism, classism,

and other forms of oppression.



Unfortunately, we… Continue

On Violence ~ Professor Gary L. Francione

Dear Colleagues:



Unfortunately, there are people who identify themselves as animal advocates who claim that the solution to the problem of animal exploitation is violence.

Some of these people have actually engaged in acts of violence against institutional exploiters. Others incite acts of violence by calling on people to use “intimidation”…
