Injustice is impiety. For since the universal nature has made rational animals for the sake of one another to help one another according to their deserts, but in no way to injure one another, he who transgresses her will is clearly guilty of impiety toward the highest divinity. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, IX.1 In becoming a better person and a better vegan activist, we shouldn’t be engaging in any activity that hurts another person, or veganism itself. Though how often do you see someone doing a particular style of activism that does just that? Our duty as vegans is to present the best possible image of veganism. Something that isn’t able to be done when we are wearing a mask or jumping a fence with a horde of other people.
