HSUS Promotes Veganism

September 29, 2008

The ‘Yes on Prop 2‘ gala dinner - with celebrities and fundraising - was VEGAN.

The measure, of course, assumes people are still eating animals. It deals only with their treatment in factory farming situations. (There was no meat last night — as is the custom at most animal welfare events.  The vegan dinner was catered by Madeleine Bistro. And it was good — really.) (source)

So no, the HSUS is not promoting “happy meat.” If anything, they convinced some meat-eaters to eat vegan for one meal.

Yes, I know Prop 2 isn’t going to make a huge difference in many animals’ lives. They will still be slaughtered and eaten. Yes, I wish everyone would go vegan. But that’s not going to happen any time soon.

Prop 2 is a step in the right direction. It gives animals a tiny bit more space so they can turn around in their cages. Prop 2 is a reflection that humans, even the meat-eating ones, are not evil monsters.
