If veganism is about doing your best to not harm any sentient life, we
must logically extend that circle of compassion to human animals as
well, writes Mark Hawthorne in this practical, engaging guide to
veganism and animal rights. Along with proven advice for going and
staying vegan, an overview of animal exploitation, and answers to common
questions about ethical eating (such as "Isn't 'humane meat' a good
option?" and "Don't plants feel pain?"), A Vegan Ethic draws on the work
and experiences of intersectional activists to examine how all forms of
oppression - including racism, sexism, ableism, and speciesism - are
connected by privilege, control, and economic power. By recognizing how
social justice issues overlap, we can develop collaborative strategies
for finding solutions.
