File this one under things we never thought we'd have to say.
While you are preaching kindness for all animals on this lovely day,
please remember that your fellow humans are animals too. 
Kindness for all beings - now, that is the vegan point of view. 

Veganwashing is the act of using veganism 
to appear more compassionate than you are really being. 
Oppressing and killing people? That is not vegan. 
Vegans have compassion for humans too. 
On that, we need to be agreeing. 

Genocide is not vegan  

For years, we've heard some vegans, with total confidence say, 
"If you were in a cage, I'd be fighting for your liberation today." 
But then you are silent while humans are suffering 
in concentration camps.
Talk is cheap if your light goes out 
when the time has come to shine a lamp. 

Veganwashing is the act of using veganism 
to appear more compassionate than you are really being. 
Oppressing and killing people? That is not vegan. 
Vegans have compassion for humans too. 
On that, we need to be agreeing. 

Genocide is not vegan

Killing is wrong, even when your boots are made of vegan leather. 
Killing is wrong, even if your coats do not contain a feather.
Killing is wrong, even when your belly is full of wholesome plant foods.
Compassion for every being: that's who veganism includes. 

Genocide is not vegan.
