What people react to is a reflection of something about themselves, and essentially, I believe inside Lins feels guilty for contributing to animal exploitation. If Lins would be honest with himself, he could break free from this abusive system and live a lifestyle of highest love and nonviolence. Clearly there is no rational reason to deny the dignity of sentient creatures, so Lins must resort to primitive talk. It is a wonderfully empowering feeling to help end exploitation, by doing all one can do, knowing you are greatly increasing happiness for our most vulnerable beings. Boycotting all the insidious pervasive animal products out there is a giant step for animal liberation and our own liberation.
Free people detach themselves as much as possible from diseased social structures.
The high edification that stems from nonviolent living truly has no equal. To become a vegan was one of the best decisions of my life. I am proud of this, very proud that I had the courage to make a belief into a conviction and free myself and the animals. I am also a member of PETA and proud of it. Animal Liberation is very common sense, despite Lins ill-founded aversion.
