A Life Connected: VEGAN

2013-02-18T08:32:24.443Z

Brought to you by NonviolenceUnited.org

This is one in what we hope will be a series of our A Life Connected project.

A 12-minute uplifting, positive video about the power of making Vegan choices.

People everywhere are making choices more connected with their values. We are simplifying our lives, buying less and living more because we know that the Earth provides enough to satisfy everyone's need, but not everyone's greed.

But there is one connected choice that sometimes gets overlooked. It's one of the most far-reaching personal, practical and ethical choices you can make. With this choice we can help...

>feed ourselves and every hungry person on the planet.
>end deforestation
>replenish the deep woods of the North and save our disappearing rainforests.
>revitalize our rural landscapes and save family farms.
>stop the number one polluter of water and the number one waster of water.
>return our oceans to thriving underwater worlds teeming with life and wonder.
>make cancer and heart disease a rarity instead of a common occurrence.
>stop the unnecessary suffering of billions and billions of animals.
>and return wild lands to their rightful owners.

This powerful choice can be done by everyone every day... by you... right now.

Vegan.

Every day you are invited to make choices. Live your values. Change the world.

It's that simple.

ABSTRACT:
DR OSCAR HORTA ON THE ETHICS OF VEGANISM
26th July, 2012, Faculty of Humanities Koper, University of Primorska
4th VEGAN DINNER IN KOPER

Most of us have been educated since we were kids to think that animals are just there for us to use. When we are told that we should respect others, most people understand that it is only humans we should take into account. Due to this, animals are deprived from any significant respect, and harmed in ways in which it would be unthinkable to harm human beings. But should this really be so? What are the reasons why only humans should be respected? Is it because only humans have certain intellectual capacities, or because only they can use a language? But, if this were so, it would be fully justified to not respect those humans who don't have these capacities. Is it simply because we humans are more powerful, or because we just don't care for them? If this were so, then it would be fully justified to not respect those humans who suffer the oppression of those who are more powerful than them, and don't feel any sympathy from them. In light of this, perhaps we should rethink the ways we relate to nonhuman animals, and strive to live without causing nonhuman animals to suffer and die. Maybe the reason why we should respect others is that they can feel suffering and joy, as nonhuman animals, like us, can.

Večina od nas je vzgojenih tako, da o živalih mislimo kot o nečem, ki nam je na voljo za uporabo. Ko nas učijo spoštovanja drugih, to zahtevo običajno razumemo le v oziru do ljudi. Zaradi tega so živali oropane vsakršnega spoštovanja in oškodovane na način, ki bi bil nepojmljiv način ravnanja do ljudi. Ali to mora biti tako? Kakšni so razlogi za to, da spoštujemo le človeka? Je to zato, ker ima le človek določene intelektualne sposobnosti, ali zato ker edini uporablja jezik? Vendar, če bi to držalo, potemtakem bi bili upravičeni do tega, da ne bi spoštovali tistih ljudi, ki omenjenih sposobnosti nimajo. Ali pa razlog tiči v tem, da so ljudje mogočnejši? Ali pa v tem, da nas preprosto za živali ne briga? Če bi bilo to res, potem bi bili popolnoma upravičeni do nespoštovanja tistih ljudi, ki so zatirani s strani močnejših. Morebiti bi v taki luči morali premisliti kakšne odnose imamo z nečloveškimi živalmi in si prizadevati živeti tako, da jim ne bi povzročali trpljenja ali smrti. Morda pa razlog spoštovanja živali leži v tem, da so tudi same, enako kot človek, zmožne občutiti trpljenje in veselje.
