Pledge Wall

Denise
VIC

For the animals. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. To quote Gary L Francione: 'The idea that we have the right to inflict suffering and death on other sentient beings for the trivial reasons of palette pleasure and fashion, is morally repugnant historically'.

Pledge #1195
Sharon
SA

Vegan for the animals and now, for my health too!

Pledge #573

Vegan for 20 years & will never go back. It's never been easier! The quote that says it best for me is "when we can live happy, healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?"

Breaks my heart what is being done to these poor animals. There's no way I could pay for their suffering after seeing footage from the slaughterhouses.

Pledge #1399
Patricia
WA

Why is being vegan important to me? Simply, they feel and I feel everything the same. They and I feel fear, kindness, terror and physical and psychological PAIN. They are born and bred as an excuse for food. Huge lies! We humans live guilt free and more healthier being vegan.

Pledge #1003

Animal rights and welfare.

To quote Edgar's Mission "If we could live happy and healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?" I am not above others and every sentient being deserves to live as much as I do.

Knowing that my choices are going towards helping save innocent animals from dying.
