  • 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.

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.

  • The Most Moral Way to Eat Hannah Reiss
    Florida State University Libraries Undergraduate Research Honors Ethical Issues and Life Choices (PHI2630) 2013 The Most Moral Way to Eat Hannah Reiss Follow this and additional works at the FSU Digital Library. For more information, please contact [email protected] Hannah Reiss The Most Moral Way to Eat Keywords: vegan, vegetarian, moral, animal rights, environment, health, accessibility Abstract: Since birth, children are force fed concepts regarding dietary needs and requirements. In America, the cultural norm is to eat animal products and such practices are rarely questioned. Vegetarianism and veganism are considered to be a form of counterculture, however there are many benefits of adopting vegan diet. From a utilitarian approach, people should eat a plant-based vegan diet, if at all possible, because it reduces the amount of harm, results in fewer deaths and decreases money spent. Additionally, a vegan diet increases happiness and results in the most moral way to eat. The arguments are meant to summarize veganism as the ideal moral way to eat considering animal rights, environmental effects, and health benefits. Unlike other works on the topic, this paper will outline the responsibilities of current vegans. Introduction Since birth, children are force fed concepts regarding dietary needs and requirements. The United States Department of Agriculture’s food pyramid and MyPlate are taught in school, instructing dairy as one of the five required food groups (USDA). Commercials advocate milk consumption in order to attain adequate calcium intakes. Lean meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs are advertised as healthy protein sources needed for every meal. Society knows protein and calcium are vital to a healthy diet, so naturally the veracity of such statements is rarely questioned.

Dissertation Advisor: Michèle Lamont Author: Nina Gheihman Veganized: How Cultural Entrepreneurs Mainstreamed a Movement Abstract In the last few years, veganism transformed from a marginalized animal rights movement into a mainstream lifestyle. This shift occurred through the promotional work of change agents called cultural entrepreneurs. Drawing on over 150 interviews with these movement leaders, I describe three archetypes that emerged inductively from the analysis: Icons (image entrepreneurs), Informers (knowledge entrepreneurs), and Innovators (market entrepreneurs). Collectively, cultural entrepreneurs sacrifice ideological purity in pursuit of popularity. However, they are both enabled and constrained by the national contexts in which they are embedded. I compare the United States with two “shadow cases” that represent barriers to (France) and openings for (Israel) cultural diffusion.

    Do you know the goal of The Humane Society of the United States? The following was written by Nancy G, and reproduced here with her permission, to help you understand the seriousness of the Animal Rights movement and how it is adversely affecting all of us. "We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds oflivestock 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, CEO of HSUS, former board member of PETA ‐ Animal People News 1993 "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 ‐ FullCry Magazine, October 1, 1990. "My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture." JP Goodwin, employed at the Humane Society of the US, formerly at Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, as quoted on AR‐Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group in 1996. Things you may not know about the HSUS and how they use donations taken in by the public. 1. The HSUS does not operate or have direct control over any shelter. Buried deep within HSUS website is a disclaimer noting that the group "is not affiliated with, nor is it a parent organization for local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies." 2.
