“What touches me deeply is that those we heard from at the festival were vegans not only for health reasons or competitive athletics, but also for the animals.”
“Of all the forms of animal agriculture, those advocating ethical slaughter practices should probably be the first to truly have glass walls.”
“I’m getting rather tired of these self-righteous vegans who, like extremists of every stripe, think their way is the only way for everybody!”
“Being a vegan, I naturally know many vegans and vegetarians, and these people are peaceful [and] healthy, and love both animals and people.”
“The local vegans have nothing to gain personally from their protest. In fact, as they pay for supplies out of their own pockets, it costs them money. I’m proud to be associated with them.”
“The vegans have raised their battle flags against Wild Abundance, Asheville’s local permaculture, natural-building and primitive-skills school. The abusive nightmare that we survived last fall with our newborn has returned with even more ‘fire and fury.'”
“So by saying you don’t want killing on small farms, you’re saying you don’t want small farms raising animals. Because death is part of that process.”
