Fortunately for them (though less so for the cuckoo), in one experiment they ejected 100% of all cuckoo model eggs. The phrase they suggest using is “Feed two birds with one hand”, or the vegan version “Cut two carrots with one knife”

Image via Wikipedia I found The Goode Family disappointing on the vegan side. One complaint many of us have with "liberals" and "progressives" is that they tend to leave veganism and animal rights out of their sphere of concern. Yeah, lots of mockery, but I didn't laugh. Maybe it's me. macworld.com). takepart.com).

I'm a vegan who thinks we shouldn't be using animals even if we change the conditions of their use. Of course there are oodles of vegetarians who mention veganism and how difficult and restricting it is, and overall I'm having a fairly disheartening experience. After all, who I am doesn't stop at vegan.

I've been out of every loop I used to be in because my work outside of veganism and animal rights came a-calling in a most critical way. There are new Francione-style abolitionists and new people to veganism who debate about the ethics of consuming eggs from their neighbor's chickens. It's been 92 degrees outside, by the way.

There is a general consensus that vegetarianism and veganism are different philosophically. I'm still not sure why vegan education can't be part of any of these efforts. ). I don't see why that argument can't be used in vegan and single-issue campaigns. How about this? What do you think?

In my experience there are at least a handful of issues that involve compromise when the idea of veganism collides with real life. Yes, sterilizing someone--anyone--without their consent is an act of dominance. However, I don't think (and as you allude to) the situation is black and white. Hence, it's a Gray Matter.)

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? That action is to opt out and go vegan. And of course, the reality that all of this involves using sentient nonhumans when that's unnecessary isn't even considered.

And animal rights isn't focused on what happens in the world outside of us that we aren't directly profiting from and that isn't happening because of us (that last one is nearly impossible, as you can trace many problems other animals experience back to something human animals have done to them or their habitat or their food).
