" The world becoming vegan would right a great and historic wrong . In such a global community , the idea that our fellow sentient creatures might be enslaved by us for self-interested purposes would become so alien as to become unthinkable … Seen in this light , veganism is not so much a movement about animal welfare as it is one about animal liberation ; not only the liberation of the animals who suffer , but also the liberation of the hearts & minds of humanity itself as well …
And seen with this vision , the vegan call is no longer one that attempts to make the relationship between humans & animals more bearable , for that is essentially impossible as long as that relationship remains one of master to slave and slave to master . No , for justice to truly reign and peace to fully flourish on Earth , veganism mandates that our feudal relationship to animals be fully abolished ; dismantled without exception in order to open the way for a new relationship to thrive in its place – an honest & sincere partnership ; one built on equality & compassion . In this light , veganism is the simple affirmation of a full & patent Truth : that where Love wishes to fully BE , exploitation must completely vanish ." ~ inspired by Leslie Cross
