Straight Across the Board

When stated in the simplest terms available, the routine farm practice of forced insemination - regardless of species - is the sexual assault of another female. This is often done for the purposes of eating her babies and stealing her breast milk.

Yes, violent sexual assaults occur in the 'animal kingdom' (including human animals), but that is a weak excuse at best. Humans have clearly decided we DO NOT morally condone forced sexual assault or the killing of babies. Additionally, as we all know, humans overwhelming make the claim that they *love* animals and believe in protecting them. They also claim to morally disagree with inflicting irrational violence and suffering on other sentient earthlings.

We exist in this oddly twisted world of morals that do not hold true 'across the board'. In short, this is what is meant by dissonance. When you figure out what *morals* you truly stand for and align that principle with your entire life, the dimension in which we view the world changes. I have rarely met a fellow vegan who didn't experience a feeling of “waking up” and a positive change from within that is simply impossible to adequately put into words.

The feeling is alignment. It is awesome. I have decided my ethics and I stand true to them – straight across the board.

So happy to live vegan
