If it's wrong to harm a cat or a dog, then it's wrong to harm other animals for similar reasons. Unlike books, CDs or other things, animals are sentient. They can feel pain, form relationships, and experience and respond to the world. They are individuals and they have an interest in continuing their lives. They also have a right not to be used as property. Veganism is the baseline of taking that right seriously. Go vegan today and educate others!

In this podcast, I discuss welfarism as an objective that is inimical to abolition as an objective, and why abolitionists take the rights of nonhuman animals and veganism as a moral baseline seriously because nonhuman animals are sentient, because they have interests, because, in light of those interests, they have moral rights, and in light of their moral rights, they should have the legal right not to be used as property.

In this podcast, I tackle how to answer a question about veganism, why beeganism is a moral and intellectual problem (bees are animals!), and why promoting veganism remains critically important to nonhuman animals.

In this podcast, I address the finer points of some of the logic behind animal advocacy that promotes regulated animal use rather than the abolition of animal use. Learn helpful things like: the “indirect approach” is really a cop out; evidence matters; people who promote regulated use, promote regulated use, and not abolition; the lives of nonhuman animals are not a matter of mathematics; and the best way to promote veganism is to promote veganism. Remember, if you’re not vegan, take the rights of nonhuman animals seriously and go vegan today!
