"I will continue to be a vegetarian even if the whole world started to eat meat. This is my protest against the conduct of the world."
Isaac Bashevis Singer – Nobel Prize winning author

This article is about what it means for most of us, to live in a world where we're very much alone to feel the way we do about animal exploitation. As far as I'm concerned, it's very accurate. For some it might be hard to go against the rest of the world, but at least for me, it was easy. I didn't have 'the rest of the world' even before I chose my lifestyle.

Interesting article about a neuroscientist who argues against animal experiments - partly from the perspective of cruelty - but mainly because his research has shown him that it's useless. All those animals are being tortured and killed for nothing.

Meat eaters sometimes claim that plants have feelings, not so they can avoid eating them, but so they can ignore the fact that animals most definitely do have feelings. This article discusses the possibility of plants being sentient.

The writer of this article hypothesizes about a world where animals had rights. It's something I try to imagine frequently, but most of the time I just despair. No one else seems to care. But if that day ever came, I for one, wouldn't be afraid to step back a little. Do we really need the power to destroy the earth just because we can? In fact, isn't that rather counterproductive? After all, we're animals too.

Anyone who doesn't like the idea, consider this: there was a time, not so long ago, when it was considered ridiculous for women and children to have rights. In some parts of the world, only people of European ancestry were considered rational, capable and worthy of ruling the world. In others, Europeans were considered uncivilized.

Today, most people would hesitate to advocate stale old ideas of that kind. Maybe there will come a day when animals get their rights. In my opinion, that won't be a day too soon.
