Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat,
“Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? Of course there are. But in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society, there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism. At some point, you have to decide who you are and what matters morally to you. And once you decide that you regard victimizing vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan”
Gary L. Francione

Émile Zola
“The fate of animals is of far greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous.”
Emile Zola

Chuck Palahniuk
“Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Being vegetarian here also means that we do not consume dairy and egg products, because they are products of the meat industry. If we stop consuming, they will stop producing. Only collective awakening can create enough determination for action.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Fruitful Darkness: A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom
