Description:

This is a group for Vegans.
There is a founder of this group, but
no one is more qualified than you are to
decide what this group will be.

Veganism is a diet and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral conviction concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns. Of particular concern to many vegans are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources for animal farming.

Documentaries: Earthlings Movie, subtitles, Making the Connection Movie and recommendations

Please keep in mind this group is against any form of fascism, racism, nationalism, sexism, homophobia and speciesism.
The bands and artists on the connections list are musicians with at least one vegan band member. Please see discussions if you know more artists.

Old Trees is for lovers, for warriors, it's a scream of rage against the machine and capitalist/industrial civilization. SMASH THE STATE AND RIDE BIKES!

Hej, you might be interested in "Unity". It is the sequel to "Earthlings", but this time around its not only about how we treat animals. This film is about perceptions, and why we show empathy for some beings, but apathy for others. Watch the official teaser here: http://unitythemovement.com/unity-official-teaser/

Also through observation of the "live export rally" here in Australia it has also led to xenophobia and racism towards neighbouring countries. Welfarist easily drop the bomb in which they view other nations with poorer tracks of animal welfare as inferior to them but in fact the nation that they belong to is just as horrible as any other.

The whole concept of welfarism brings comfort and the false pretense of the term "humane". Take a look at the free-range egg industry it has become a more efficient way of producing eggs which led to more animals being used but still encapsulates a similar degree of horrendous practice to that of the non-free range variety. Yet people are flocking to free range under the false impression that what they are doing is okay and they are morally justified to consume them. Freerange came from welfarism and it has done nothing but promote animal usage.

Altruism

While it does not seem realistic at the moment, there is no telling for sure what the future will hold. Though even if people would live on this planet as vegans there would still be suffering (albeit a lot less), that's a sad fact of life (and the way 'nature' dictates). Utopia would look a lot better still, almost inconceivable I guess. That said, not all petitions initiated in the interests of animals are crap and there isn't always a clear distinction in what one would consider as welfare, rights or liberation. Animal welfare legislation also isn't always necessarily in the way of an abolitionist approach, it may not help that cause per se but oftentimes it isn't exactly obstructing it either. But of course, sometimes it is. And then of course, there's different perspectives, for example - the long term interests of non-human animals as a whole (or rather, future lives of individual animals) or the dire needs of individual animals that suffer in the here and now.

I guess I know what you mean. Sure, there will never be a vegan world. That's utopia - you're right. For me, I like to show a positive example of how to live a vegan lifestyle. I don't like to point boundaries how far people can go. If we promote veganism, those people who are concerned about the issue but not willing to go vegan yet will become vegetarians anyway. That is, we do not stop anyone from taking interim steps... The eight ours campaign hides the vegan option I think. Anyway, thanks a lot for keeping things alive :)

I think you just didn't get my intention. I don't support killing animals and I am aware of fact that diffrence between welfare and liberation exists. Of course it would be better if people didn't eat animals at all, but it's real world, not utopia. We can't save them all so we sholud just do our best in any possible way to give them at least better end.
