Must we treat other beings that are capable of experiencing pain with such a blatant disregard for their lives? Is dietary preference really worth the immense amount of suffering other creatures must endure so that humans can eat what they wish?

      Enter ethical veganism; the alternative that seeks to prevent the needless suffering of sentient beings. Veganism coupled with animal rights is a lifestyle that seeks to eliminate suffering, defend the defenseless, and empower the practitioner. We can all become part of the vanguard that seeks to lessen the suffering present today. Future generations can look back at this time period and see the catastrophic toll of lost lives and of destruction wrought, or they can see a turning point; a time when the people of the world sat up, came to a realization, and took action. The time is now, we are the vanguard – this is the forefront!
