  • Vegan Youtubers Performing Ethical Beliefs
    religions Article Vegan YouTubers Performing Ethical Beliefs Kim Harding * and Abby Day * Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, London SE14 6NW, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (K.H.); [email protected] (A.D.) Abstract: In Great Britain, “religion or belief” is one of nine “protected characteristics” under the Equality Act 2010, which protects citizens from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. This paper begins with a discussion about a 2020 ruling, “Jordi Casamitjana vs. LACS”, which concluded that ethical vegans are entitled to similar legal protections in British workplaces as those who hold philosophical religious beliefs. While not all vegans hold a philosophical belief to the same extent as Casamitjana, the ruling is significant and will be of interest to scholars investigating non-religious ethical beliefs. To explore this, we have analysed a sample of YouTube videos on the theme of “my vegan story”, showing how vloggers circulate narratives about ethical veganism and the process of their conversion to vegan beliefs and practices. The story format can be understood as what Abby Day has described as a performative “belief narrative”, offering a greater opportunity to understand research participants’ beliefs and related identities than, for example, findings from a closed-question survey. We suggest that through performative acts, YouTubers create “ethical beliefs” through the social, mediatised, transformative, performative and relational practice of their digital content. In doing so, we incorporate a digital perspective to enrich academic discussions of non-religious beliefs. Keywords: veganism; ethical belief; philosophical belief; non-religion; YouTube; mediatisation; secularisation; performativity; digital religion Citation: Harding, Kim, and Abby Day.

    Do you know the goal of The Humane Society of the United States? "We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to stop all hunting in the United States ... We will take it species by species until all hunting is stopped in California. Then we will take it state by state. Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP Humane Society of the US (HSUS), formerly of Friends of Animals and Fund for Animals - Full Cry Magazine, October 1, 1990. “We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of selective breeding.” Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of HSUS, former board member of PETA - Animal People News 1993 “I don’t have a hands-on fondness for animals…To this day I don’t feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and I’m kind to them, but there’s no special bond between me and other animals.” Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 251. “The definition of obscenity on the newsstands should be extended to many hunting magazines.” Wayne Pacelle, quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 265. When asked if he envisioned a future without pets: “If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don’t want to see another dog or cat born.” Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p.

It was cited that agriculture accounts for 70% of the earth’s freshwater, 38% of total land use, 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Shockingly, half of the crops produced were directed to the raising of livestock (UNEP report, 2010).

  • Interfaith Vegan Coalition
    Interfaith Vegan Coalition NON-DENOMINATIONAL RESOURCES FOR USE WITH ANY SPIRITUAL, FAITH, ETHICAL OR WISDOM GROUP (Resources specific to your own faith can be found on the links on the main page. TEN STEPS TOWARDS HARMLESSNESS AND UNIVERSAL LOVINGKINDNESS These are 10 steps that could be introduced either one at a time or all together. The goal of these steps is to bring the golden rule ideal of harmlessness and lovingkindness into alignment with everyday community practices. You can do this alone, but it is very helpful if you have some interested community members who could join you in forming a “Green” committee or similar group that could help you promote these steps. 1. Include at least one prayer/intention each week for animals in the meetings/ services. Join the Worldwide Prayer Circle for Animals at circleofcompassion.org as a group/congregation. 2. Include reverence for and kinship with all God’s creatures in the group’s mission statement. Include language such as “guardian” rather than “owner” when referring to animal companions. (See In Defense of Animals’ Guardian Campaign, idausa.org). Use “he” or “she,” rather than “it,” when referring to animals. 3. Help develop a policy to remove or repel insects, mice and others without harming them and to protect birds from hitting large windows. 4. Encourage education and discussion about how the community can help animals by hosting films, speakers, and book studies about veganism and doing no harm to animals. Also, education about the intersectionality of all social justice movements, including animal rights, is very important. 5.

  • Gary Yourofsky Educator, Liberator
    – an EVEN exclusive interview – with Gary Yourofsky Educator, Liberator As of January 1, 2015 Gary Yourofsky has given 2,660 lectures to more than 60,000 people at 186 schools in 30 states and several Israeli cities/schools, including the U. of Alabama, U. of Florida and Georgia Tech. His lecture has been translated into more than 30 languages for over 10 million YouTube hits. Activists in Israel created the Hebrew website GARY- TV and convinced two major vegan companies to put that site's URL directly on their packages! Lecturing is a softer approach for Yourofsky, who has been arrested numerous times for random acts of kindness and compassion, and banished by five countries from entering their borders. In 1997, Gary liberated more than 1,500 soon-to-be-murdered minks from the Eberts Fur Farm in Blenheim, Ontario. He has written, produced and completed voiceovers for graphic TV ads in LA, Detroit, Corpus Christi, Chicago and others. Exclusive EVEN Interview with Gary Yourofsky, October 2015 Yourofsky's inspirational actions have been covered by newspapers, radio outlets, and TV stations around the world. Born on August 19, 1970, Yourofsky holds a B.A. in journalism from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and a radio/broadcasting degree from Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in Southfield, Michigan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVEN: How did veganism become part of your life? Gary: My stepfather used to be a clown in The Shrine Circus. He took me backstage when I was 23. I saw three elephants chained to the cement floor in the warehouse of the Michigan State Fairgrounds.
