When I go into the defense of non-human animals, I think about how I’d want to be defended if I was in captivity and my family and friends were being killed off around me. I think about how I’d feel if I could hear my mother or sister being raped, hearing their screams as the newborn is dragged off into a dark corner and knowing that they would be dead in a few weeks. I’d think about how I’d want to be defended if I spent my days in a cage, every day being taken out for a few hours to be injected with poison and have my reactions monitored.

Coddling the destructive choices of people who aren’t vegan is not something I’m comfortable with. I can’t speak for non-human animals, but I sure as fuck would not appreciate the person who claimed to have my interests at heart while simultaneously making my oppressors and their supporters comfortable in committing those crimes.
