Why Veganism Matters
by Gary Francione
In Why Veganism Matters Gary Francione, a professor of law and philosophy at Rutgers University, argues that veganism is a moral imperative. He is a self-declared abolitionist when it comes to animal rights, and critical of the idea that we should focus on animal welfare, minimising their suffering and using humane methods of slaughter. Rather, he argues that we should abolish all uses of animals and stop treating them as chattels.
