There are those in the animal movement who decry any efforts to alleviate the suffering of animals trapped in the food system. They are vegans who call themselves “abolitionists,” and whether they know it or not, they are stooges of Big Agriculture. Theirs is a position I do not even begin to understand. The Animal…
Someone who lies in wait to kill another is guilty of first degree murder in most jurisdictions. Society perceives that murder by stealth and lying in wait are particularly cowardly and evil, and society exacts a more severe punishment for such outrageous acts. The defenses to such a crime are very limited. But one works…
Vegans believe that animals should not be abused, tortured, and murdered, to serve the interests and appetites of humans. That belief flies in the face of the three great Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. One can be vegan or one can be a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim. But not both. Veganism is…
I don’t wear fatigues or camo. I don’t have a beret or an automatic weapon. I don’t look any different than you do. I work in politics, I vote, I send emails and make phone calls. I write. I am an activist. I am attempting to change the world every day. But I believe we…
If you are an animal activist, the animals are your first priority. I know they are mine. Every animal we help is important, every life we save is precious.

Not enough revolutionaries to occupy Wall Street and arrest the criminals who control the…
Christians have been prattling on about the Second Coming, Armageddon, and the End of Days, for almost 2,000 years. But it looks as though the End of Days may finally be upon us. Nothing to do with Christians, of course, except to the extent that they have supported capitalism and the conservatives which have allowed…
Every person wants a better world for his or her loved ones. We all want our children’s lives to be easier, better, and more rewarding than ours. Many of us also wish for a future without war, conflict, starvation, or oppression for people around the world. And those of us who care about animals hope…
It my not be readily apparent, but refusing to take a bite of meat or a swallow of milk is a revolutionary statement. It is a first step toward changing the world. Veganism is the most radical idea in history. It requires the recognition of the rights of animals. It values life over convenience and…
The most important reason to go vegan is to recruit revolutionary animal activists. To educate, to enlighten, to recruit, and to inspire others to lock arms with us in solidarity. All of the other reasons to go vegan will not make a difference in the world. Animal suffering, global warming, environmental degradation, world hunger, wildlife…
