Veg Spotlight
Was I going to be hypocritical, or ethically consistent? How could I condemn
the abuse of elephants in the circus but not the murder of animals in a
slaughterhouse? I became vegan on July 24, 1996.
The screaming, terrified, enslaved animals were the only influence needed.
- Gary Yourofsky

Veg Wisdom
Veganism is not a sacrifice, it is a joy. - Gary Francione
Veg Wisdom
I realised that veganism was about recognising that other animals, while very different to us, deserve to be treated with moral consideration, and anything less than vegan would be to contradict that realisation. - Ed Winters (Earthling Ed)
Veg Wisdom
Humanity's true moral test, its fundamental test, consists of its attitude toward those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect, humankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it. - Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Veg Wisdom
For many years the media have been afraid of the Goliath power of the meat industry. (But David is coming!) - Pegeen Fitzgerald
Veg Wisdom
You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Veg Wisdom
By ceasing to rear and kill animals for food, we can make so much extra food available for humans, that, properly distributed, it would eliminate starvation and malnutrition from this planet. - Peter Singer
Veg Wisdom
There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham. - Anna Sewell
Veg Wisdom
How good it is to be well-fed, healthy, and kind all at the same time. - Dr. Henry Heimlich

Veg Wisdom
Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want. - Anna Lappe
Veg Wisdom
Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better everyday. And you will come to love the whole world with an all-embracing love. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, 1880
Veg Wisdom
Thousands of animals [now billions] are butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. It cries vengeance upon all the human race. - Romain Rolland (1866-1944)
Veg Wisdom
You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car. - Harvey Diamond
About EVEN > Mission Statement
We use our Mission Statement to guide our thinking, our plans, and our actions.
With so many outstanding worthy causes, EVEN chose to direct its efforts at what it knew would be most meaningful to people, to our non-human friends, and to the planet. Since it's not possible to be all things to all people, EVEN selected education with a focus on outreach. Our Mission Statement leads us, guides us and keeps us on track!
Mission Statement
EVEN's Mission Statement is to inform, educate and encourage our members---as well as the larger community---by providing pertinent information on veganism and its positive impact on the health of the planet and all its inhabitants.
EVEN serves as a resource for those seeking information on a healthful, vegan lifestyle.
EVEN's emphasis is one of non-violence, compassion and sustainability.
Focus is on the interconnectedness of all life and how a plant-based diet benefits the earth, non-human animals, and the individual.
If it's important, you'll find a way.
If not, you'll find an excuse.
