The object of the Vegan Movement is to seek to end the use of animals by humans for food,
commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by humans.
It is not so much welfare that we seek, as freedom.
Our aim is not to make the present relationship between
humans and animals
(which if honestly viewed is mostly one of master and slave) more tolerable, but to abolish it.
In short, our aim is to set the creatures free — to return them to the balance and sanity of nature,
which is
their rightful place, and so to end the historic wrong perpetrated when humans first decided
they had the right
to exploit and enslave them.
