Veg Wisdom
We will never have peace on earth as long as we have suffering and death on our tables or on our backs. Peace begins with what you eat, wear and use. Being vegan is not sufficient for leading a nonviolent life---but it is most certainly necessary. If you are not vegan, go vegan. It's easy; it's better for your health and for the planet. But, most important, it's the morally right thing to do. - Gary Francione
Veg Wisdom
The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality. - Schopenhauer, (1788-1860) On the Basis of Morality
Edu-Stat
Cows used for their milk are drugged and bred to produce unnatural amounts of milk; they have their babies stolen from them shortly after birth and sent to notoriously cruel veal farms so that humans can drink the calves' milk.

... half the world starves. What a planet. And the eating, if you're lucky enough to do any. Stuffing pieces of dead animals into a hole in your face. Then munch, munch, munch. If there's anybody watching, they must be dying of laughter. - Iris Murdoch, Irish-born British Author (1919 - 1999)

Provides a clear statement of an approach to animal rights that (1) promotes the abolition of animal exploitation and rejects the regulation of animal exploitation; (2) is based only on animal sentience and no other cognitive characteristic, (3) regards veganism as the moral baseline of the animal rights position; and (4) rejects all violence and promotes activism in the form of creative, non-violent vegan education.

United Poultry Concerns (UPC) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of chickens and other domestic fowl. We urge people: Don't Just Switch from Beef to Chicken — Go Vegan! Founded in 1990 by UPC President Karen Davis, UPC is the only organization in the country (and possibly the world) exclusively devoted to the plight of domestic fowl. UPC focuses on these birds because they are the largest number of abused warm-blooded animals in the world.
Along with the billions of birds who are slaughtered each year for food, millions more of these birds suffer in laboratories, get dumped in animal shelters, and die miserably in poultry houses without anyone knowing they ever lived. In fact, it was Karen Davis's discovery of a little crippled hen named Viva, abandoned in a filthy chicken house in Maryland, which led her to start UPC on behalf of all the "Vivas" in the world who desperately need their voices to be heard.

Viva! campaigns for a vegan world because taking life unnecessarily is obscene, damaging and plain wrong. Taking the life of an animal who does not want to die is a profoundly terrible act and yet committed so casually in our culture. On top of that, most farmed animals spend their short and miserable lives in the filth of factory farms and are killed with sickening barbarity. We expose this abuse by secretly going inside these shameful places to film the suffering and publicizing it with nationwide campaigns that bring about change. Billions of animals are also killed at sea causing immense suffering and the ecological collapse of the oceans.
Viva! monitors the latest research from all over the world on the environmental issues and argues for change with hard science. Viva! organizes imaginative local campaigns to ensure the public knows what's happening in their area. Viva! provides all the information and support necessary to help people change their diet because the best way to protect animals is to stop eating them. And we organize Viva! Vegan Festivals across the UK to inspire anyone and everyone with the positive benefits of being vegan.

The World Peace Diet
By Will Tuttle, PhD

If you want to understand the big picture of our culture and why we have the unyielding dilemmas we face, and how we can solve them, this book is for you.
