Even if the chickens were free range,
gremilya: even if the cows grazed in open field, even if the dog that was bred was kept in the house, and the puppies were sold to good homes, the animals are exploited; their bodies are used– killed, eaten, impregnated, sold– without their consent and for a profit. And that is wrong.

veganasfuck: If you eat fish, or chicken. You are not a vegetarian, they are animals, not plants. If you consume honey, gelatin, casein, or beeswax you are not vegan.  If you purchase leather, wool, or cashmere, you are not vegan.  If you eat it when no one is around to see you, you’re still not vegan.  I don’t know how this is that hard to understand. You don’t get “cheat days”. There is...

Who is grrrl/boicotting the Grammy's with us? →
Grammy producers confirmed that Chris Brown will be performing on Sunday’s show. “We’re glad to have him back,” said executive producer Ken Ehrlich. “I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened.” Read that quote...
