Man exploits man, how will he spare animals? || Neem Candies

Veganism cannot succeed if you just keep talking of animals. You keep saying, “Oh, it is bad to look at animals as a commodity. It is bad to exploit animals.” If man is exploiting man, why will man refrain from exploiting animals?

So, veganism has to be holistic, comprehensive. You may not like it to hear it this way, but veganism has to be basically a spiritual movement. Veganism has to be a movement of compassion. When compassion comes, you will not be compassionate towards merely the animals. When compassion arises in you, then you will be compassionate towards everything, everybody, and yourself. First of all, you will cease to be cruel towards yourself, which most people are.

So, veganism needs to broaden its scope.
