Chris Palmieri wrote: Had a very productive conversation about animal rights and veganism yesterday with a coworker. We were friendly, polite and shared laughs at times but I was always frank and direct about the issue. He asked me many of the questions we are used to hearing. Animals eat other animals...plants are alive...dont we need to eat meat...a lion would kill you etc. But he was not being a jerk about it at all. He was genuinely curious about the answers to those questioned and as we examined why each of those ideas werent really a valid argument against animal rights he was interested in the answers. He said later it was eye opening and it really made him want to stop eating (and presumably using) animals and their products. It goes to show that often people ask these questions from a place of genuine curiosity and interest and may not know the answer. So we have to answer them as it weve heard them for the first time and with the intent of genuinely answering a genuine question. I think even in cases where we are being trolled this might be the better way to handle it :) --- Its easy to educate others about why they should go Vegan. Its NOT educating others that makes things much harder, for the nonhumans, and for us. If you want to learn how to educate others, check this out: https://facebook/squeezeplay/posts/10202677155343243 Then do like Chris, and find people out there who dont know about Veganism and explain it to them. If youre not already Vegan, then please go Vegan. If youre already Vegan, please educate non-Vegans about why they should go Vegan. Please rescue/volunteer/adopt/foster/spay/neuter the nonhuman refugees of domestication whenever you can. Please feed your companion animals Vegan where you can. These things are the most important, morally responsible things to do and are severely needed by everyone. legacyofpythagoras.wordpress/2014/04/10/master-list-of-vegan-info
