Seeds of Change: The International Vegan Rights Alliance and the Vegan Rights Revolution emphasizes that the legal protection of vegans is important to the campaign for animal protection. It explains the social, political, and legal context for the practice of veganism. This book documents the history of the campaign for vegan rights, the dedicated work of the International Vegan Rights Alliance, and shows how the idea of rights for vegans generated significant interest around the world resulting in veganism being formally recognized in law. Seeds of Change encourages vegans to defend their right to live with compassion in their daily lives and inspires further vegan rights advocacy as seeds of change that contribute to animal protection.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I have long been of the view that we will never have a vegan world as long as we have an 'animal movement' that that refuses to recognize veganism as a moral imperative and promotes the more 'humane' exploitation of animals along with the idea that being a 'flexible' vegan (whatever that means) is sufficient. I believe that Jeanette Rowley shares that vision and I commend her for her efforts, discussed in this book, to ensure that the rights of vegans are protected. -- Gray L. Francione, Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of Law and Katzenbach Scholar of Law and Philosophy, Emeritus, Rutgers University
