Frases de Gary Francione

“If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.”

“We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.”

“Veganism is not a "sacrifice." It is a joy.”

“There is probably more suffering in a glass of milk or an ice cream cone than there is in a steak.”

“In order to be a teacher you've got to be a student first”

“People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices”

“All sentient beings should have at least one right—the right not to be treated as property”

“Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.”

“Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.”

“Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.”

“The most important form of incremental change is the decision by the individual to become vegan. Veganism, or the eschewing of all animal products, is more than a matter of diet or lifestyle; it is a political and moral statement in which the individual accepts the principle of abolition in her own life. Veganism is the one truly abolitionist goal that we can all achieve—and we can achieve it immediately, starting with our next meal.”
