@georgia @lizzie i originally became vegan because i felt the need to wash my hands of all this, but i have grown to hate my desire to be innocent, because excusing myself of the state of the world distracts from the project of loving my fellow animals with as much as i possibly can, a project within which veganism remains a crucial part.
today the US congress passed a law to prevent states from banning the use of gestational crates. i will never suffer anywhere near as much as a pig tortured by one of those crates, even though these pigs have done no harm to anyone, and i have done harm to many sentient creatures in my life. what do i have any right to say when i cannot even imagine the suffering of billions in these conditions around the world?
