Some people believe that to be vegan means you have to be an animal lover or be someone who goes out of their way to be kind to animals. But it’s not an act of kindness to not needlessly hurt someone. If we walk down the street and don’t kick a dog, that’s not an act of kindness. In the same way, avoiding forcing animals into gas chambers and macerators and onto kill lines isn’t an act of benevolence – it’s an act of justice and respect for the basic moral consideration that all animals deserve.
