Taking Animals Seriously - Vegan Abolitionism
“veganism, abolitionism, animal rights, anti-speciesism, equality, liberation”
This is is an abolitionist group, it works through public education to end animal use, but doesn't a won't accept or use welfarist measures or changes in the way non-human animals are exploited, in order to achieve our goal, as welfarist measures have demonstrated to benefit non-human animal exploiters making animal slavery more efficient and profitable. We won't use speciesist arguments to promote the idea that all animals are equal as we understand this weights against the recognition of our moral duties to non-humans. Neither will we support groups who have used these arguments as part of their agenda. We believe that all animals that have the capacity to feel, independently of their species, deserve their interests taken into account and given an equal and fare consideration.
