“Veganism is more than a diet; it is an ethical commitment to ending animal exploitation and minimizing harm to nonhuman animals in all areas of life.”

Being vegan can be lonely. Caring about animals while seeing them slaughtered and consumed around you every day can make a person feel like they are going mad. Stanescu, J. (2012), “Species Trouble: Judith Butler, Mourning, and the Precarious Lives of Animals,” Hypatia 27 (3): 567–582.

In "Veganism as Political Solidarity: Beyond 'Ethical Veganism'" Cochrane and Cojacaru give an important reminder about the origins and intersecting nature of oppression against both humans and animals and challenge activists to work together in solidarity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
“Just as activists working on non-animal causes must
reflect on animal oppression, so vegans must reflect on these other oppressions.”

A relevant quote from Jordi Casamitjana. "Veganism is the ultimate peace movement, but true pacifism is the ultimate vegan movement too, because we vegans can finally rest if pacifists succeed in making non-violence universal and permanent for all.” veganfta.com/blog/2025/03...

"Activists who choose to bear witness, and suffer trauma as a consequence, illuminate a darkened corner of collective awareness. When the deep multi-species pain of activist encounters is culturally validated, activist trauma can relax into grief. As forerunners of a paradigm shift that acknowledges human continuity and kinship with nonhuman animals, they model what is necessary for collective healing: the willingness to suffer" - Sara Granovetter, Activist as Symptom: Healing Trauma within a Ruptured Collective

“Ironically, we spend fortunes on our dogs and cats, spoiling them with treats and toys, preparing them
an extra portion of the Christmas dinner, and dressing them up with reindeer hats and costumes. We
deeply care about our furry friends at home and consider them as full family members. We refer to our
companion animals as case examples to prove how much we love animals. And while simultaneously
professing to love animals, we continue exploiting animals to feed, to clothe, and to entertain
ourselves.”

Their arguments are rooted in science, reason, and ethics. They could announce tomorrow they have abandoned veganism and their arguments would still stand on their own. Celebrities speaking up for animals is great, but at the end of the day what really matters is not who, but WHAT is said. /2

A popular creator who built their audience around veganism has announced today they are no longer "plant-based". Don't want to attack them, but this shows why Vegan Each Day only posts quotes from scholars and thinkers in veganism, rather than celebrities/influencers. 1/2

You have a choice.
You have a choice. You decide whether you want to continue to have others kill for you. you decide whether you want to continue consuming death, terror, and heartbreak - whitewashed as humane. You decide.
My hope is you’ll decide to go vegan.

Veganism is about nonviolence to all animals - humans included.
There is simply no room for war in ethical veganism. Commit fully to nonviolence--toward your fellow humans as well as animals.

Veganism has a long history with gender and sexuality, with meat-eating often associated with straight masculinity. In their article "A Queer Vegan Manifesto", Rasmus Rahbek Simonsen explores some of these connections and argues for a veganism that challenges norms. #pride
The promise of becoming vegan is to challenge, or queer, always and everywhere, the normative demands that are placed on our genders, sexualities, and diets. Rasmus Rahbek Simonsen, "A Queer Vegan Manifesto".

"Most vegans think of veganism as a general moral imperative—that humans ought to be vegan as a matter of social justice for animals—yet they frequently individualized their positions when interacting with nonvegans to avoid interpersonal conflict and thereby engage nonvegans."

Until legislation catches up with consumers, we each have the power to end our complicity in the suffering, mutilations, and deaths of increasing numbers of animals each year. With every bite we take, we can choose compassion over killing by choosing the vegetarian option.

Powerful reminder about what veganism is really about - reducing harm and suffering.
Being vegan is a powerful response to the tragedy of industrial animal
agriculture, but it is only the first step. At its core, the compelling concept
behind being a vegan is working to end suffering. We must always remem-
ber that the bottom line is suffering, not veganism.

If we feel ourselves emotionally affected by the behavior of an animal, it is a clear indication that we have intuitively discovered a similarity between its behavior and human behavior. We should not conceal this in our description.

While not directly about veganism, this quote is powerful in a world where animal suffering is hidden behind neat packaging of happy animals on green farms, and words like "certified humane".
the strength of a mind might be measured by the amount of "truth" it could endure—or to speak more plainly, by the extent to which it REQUIRED truth attenuated, veiled, sweetened, damped, and falsified. Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.

Many quotes about veganism have dubious origins but have been repeated until they are no longer questioned. Other popular quotes come from celebrities who try veganism on as a fad before quitting. Quotes on Vegan Each Day always provide a source and come from great thinkers of history and our time.
