Vegan: End Animal Use
The vegan stance is that animals are not ours to use. Veganism means ending the use of animals in every form. It is not a diet. It is emancipation.
Harm and cruelty are just the symptoms of our relationship towards non-human animals. Reducing suffering is not the vegan goal. The root problem is that we see animals as slaves and resources to use in the first place.
Unlike animals, we are moral agents. Being vegan is giving animals basic respect, the least we should do.
