Learn about the concept for this site and our five-year-plan to produce structured briefings and related media on a wide range of topics. We’ve only just begun.

We help people talk with people about veganism and animal ethics, and provide a safe place for exploring related topics. Find out how.

  • “It’s My Personal Choice.” 

    In answering this objection to veganism, we show how personal choice cannot be used to justify actions that are unethical.

  • “Humans Have Souls; Animals Don’t.”

    Several points to consider when evaluating the objection to veganism and animal right based on the presence or absence of a soul.
