What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

I am not vegan, but I have vegan friends.

Veganism is respectable. It is good. But primates are opportunistic eaters, and humans are no different.

Not everyone is in a position to choose to remove meat from their diet. And some folks, like me, support vegans without feeling we need to eliminate all animal and insect products from our diets.

When we talk openly, we learn from each other and develop understanding. Who knows, maybe I will be vegan one day? I've cooked many vegan meals for groups of people.

Calling me names will push me away.
