Why I Am Still Vegan...

I know that lately I have been slacking in the blogging department, but I can promise you I have good reason.   However, with all the ridiculousness going on within the vegan community (aka the "Why I'm No Longer Vegan" videos) I felt the need to come discuss this topic.

First off, all of those who are claiming that they are "no longer vegan," guess what?  You never were in the first place.  I've read so many blogs and watched so many videos with these people spewing their bs reasoning as to why they are going back to animal exploitation. Veganism is not a diet.  It is not some fad.  It is a lifestyle, a way of living.  When you "become" vegan,  you are finally opening up your eyes to the reality of the cruelty and violence towards animals and realizing that humans have absolutely NO right to oppress or abuse other species just because they cannot consent.  So yeah, you came into the movement because you saw it was popular and you thought it would make you cool to say that you were vegan.  However, in reality, you were all nothing but a bunch of plant based phonies.  

  

Now that I have gotten that off my chest, let me get back to the point if this entry...

This guy.  This guy is why I am still vegan. ♥

Yes, I am still vegan and I always will be.  For me, being vegan was never a dietary choice. I chose to go vegan because I am an animal lover and I realized I that when you say you love animals, you should love ALL animals not just those you share a home with.  I am still vegan because I am doing the best that I can to help be a voice to the animals and end their suffering once and for all.  I am still vegan because I care about ALL animal's welfare.  I am still vegan because I know of all the horrors that goes on in factory farming (yes even "humane" and "cage free" instances).  I am still vegan because I have strong morals.

Honestly, the question shouldn't be why am I still vegan it should be why are you not?
