I am vegan for the animals. We are all earthlings travelling on a speck of dust in the middle of incomprehensible emptiness, united in our capacity to suffer. May we all be united in the nonhuman capacity for humility, forgiveness and love.
Veganism is the ethical principle to minimise suffering. This presupposes the continual education of inner workings of exploitative systems, and being held accountable for the impact of choices made. I pledge to uphold these values as long as I live.
I pledge to live my life with open eyes, heart and mind to the suffering of the billions of animals. I can no longer campaign as I once did due to health issues, but i will never stop being a voice for the animals.
