My inbox this month has informed me that November is Vegan Awareness Month! I am a vegan who has adopted a diabetic greyhound who eats vegan food ( Natural Balance ), and who is adopting a boy from Russia. As a vegan, part of what I believe is that bringing animals onto this planet to use them as food or as pets isn't ethical.

Being vegan because you want to live as nonviolently as possible and you don't want to contribute to violence and you don't want to respond to violence with violence is admirable to some, though refusing to support the defense of sentient nonhumans when you probably would if they were humans bothers me. Or vegan pumpkin pie.

Finally, I was asked to participate in a new TNR group in my town that started largely because of my oodles of questions and setting of policy for Project Treadstone! And of course, I will use the meetings as an opportunity for vegan outreach. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics.

In my experience there are at least a handful of issues that involve compromise when the idea of veganism collides with real life. And when the option is rounding them up and killing them, TNR looks like an especially attractive option. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Gray Matters. And this is one of them.
