Do we really want to use the behavior of the Neanderthals as the yardstick by which to measure our current moral choices? Colleen Patrick-Goudreau (via supervegan)

Radically Kind

I thought it was time to finally dedicate an entire tumbleblog to my quest to spread veganism and learn more about it, especially since it makes it easier to join the vegan community on Tumblr, because now other vegans, who have little to no interest in my sense of humour or aesthetics or the other things I post here, can now follow me and get my vegan content only.

So if you’re interested, please visit me at: http://radicallykind.tumblr.com!

Eight Responses To Those Against Animal Rights:
Tom Regan - “We are not saying that humans and other animals are equal in every way. For example, we are not saying that dogs and cats can do calculus, or that pigs and cows enjoy poetry. What we are saying is that, like humans, many other animals are psychological beings, with an experiential welfare of their own. In this sense, we and they are the same. In this sense, therefore, despite our many differences, we and they are equal.”Peter Singer - “All the arguments to prove man’s superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering, the animals are our equals.”
Charles Darwin - “There is no fundamental difference between humans and the higher mammals in their mental faculties”
Mark Twain - “It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.”
Michael Stepaniak - “The life spark in my eyes is in no way different than the life spark in the eyes of any other sentient being.”Tod Wilkinson - “If humans looked at life from a perspective of trying to relate to animals, then we’d have a better understanding of why science categorizes us as part of the animal kingdom. But to do so means pondering equality with other species, something most humans can’t consider.”Henry Beston -  “The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
Hendrick Van Loon - “We are fellow passengers on the same planet, and we are all equally responsible for the happiness and the well-being of the world in which we happen to live.”

… if one person is unkind to an animal it is considered to be cruelty, but where a lot of people are unkind to animals, especially in the name of commerce, the cruelty is condoned, and once large sums of money are at stake, will be defended to the last by otherwise intelligent people. RUTH HARRISON (Animal Machines 1964)

Isn’t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife, birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoes - by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out a card praying for “Peace on Earth. C.
