Vegan Ethics is as important as Animal Ethics.
I had noticed the Vegan Society NSW had just held their Cool the Planet expo with sponsorship from Macro! Macro deals in miseries and sells dead corpses. It also sells 'un'conventional food produce as well as 'organic' food produce. The Vegan Societies of US and UK do not accept paid advertising (sponsors) from any companies that deal in miseries. The cruelty practices inherent in farmed animals for food, clothing or any other purposes such as 'organic' dead corpse, including dead fish, eggs, animal milk, honey and their derivatives.
Billions of animals suffer every year for humans greed. So we should not capitalise financially from purveyors of dead meat and dead animal's products such as leather, silk, fur, wool in clothing, upholstery etc. The Vegan Society NSW stated "Bringing conciousness to the table", does that include shopping in Macro and bringing home (un) concious food so we can help our planet bite by bite, or is it choice by choice by the flexitarians or 'pseudo' vegans who do not care for the principles of AHIMSA.

What about Voiceless who advocate 'free-range' animals? There is not one hint of NO animals on the table, rather free-range eggs. Is this also ethical?
Voiceless are voiceless when it comes to walk the talk. Go Vegan. Don't get splinters in your backside. Sitting on the fence. Come on Sherman support Banning ALL forms of animal farming.
Animal Rights v Animal Welfare
In many ways, Animal Rights and Animal Welfare are two conflicting philosophies. A/W say-we should treat animals as humanely as possible and not cause them unnecassary pain. We should improve but not radically change our treatment of animals. We can measure A/W objectively and scientifically for e.g. count the number of chickens in a wire mesh cage or a number of chickens who live in a barn on a concrete floor with some straw. A/W is part of consequential ethics, such as Utilitarianism, that states individuals may suffer for the benefit of the majority. A fine example of A/Welfarism is Peter Singer.
Animal Rightist say we should not use animals as it is morally wrong to do so. We should not inflict death or pain on animals-no matter how much we gain. We can not measure a/r objectively or scientifically, it is an ethical concept that is a subjective moral choice.
A/rs often disparage of a/w."A/W laws do little but regulate the details of exploitation." Terrorist or freedom Fighter (S Best & A J Nocella)
Rain without Thunder. Voiceless promotes welfarism. It gives finances to welfare groups who prefer to promote 'humane killing' of animals. Free-range still exploit animals for meat eaters. If Voiceless feel they are helping the voiceless ones, they are falling very short and are derelict in the quest to banning all forms of slaughter or exploitation. This 'philanthropic' organisation would be better off serving the 'voiceless ones' by promoting and supporting groups who advocate animal rights. Banning all/any form of animal abuse, cruelty and exploitation. How can groups like Humane Society, Compassion in World Farming, World Society for the Protection of Animals endorse Voiceless when they themselves support the slaughter of innocents. How can you justify keeping animals institutionalised in confinement against their will? It is bloody stupid to talk about 'humane' killing of any animal, as it is stupid to support any violation to keep any animal in continual pain and suffering. Then support a bolt shot in the head or slitting and dismembering the animal. Killing is unnecessary and unjustified.Welfarist groups and people who think Singer's Utilitarianist dogma is helping to reduce the animals suffering need to look again in the butcher shop window and then tell us that they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with the animal exploiters. This notion of making the chain link longer i.e making the cage 2cms wider/longer is 'more' humane, is what your legitimising to the animal exploiters. This is why every time Singer opens his mouth, the animal exploiters do not fear him as he promotes free-range eggs, free-range dead corpse etc.
