ARCO's Abolitionists - A Vegan Forum

The Boston Vegan Association recently completed work on a full-color vegan nutrition guide and has started A) using it to educate the public while tabling at area events and B) distributing to activists all around the world to do the same. People who have requested pamphlets (or even just one pamphlet) so far include individuals looking for information on what constitutes a healthy diet and vegan activists who have requested copies to use in their ...

Almost a year ago I did my best in giving ARCO's Abolitionists a new look and tried to get the forum active again.
Sadly this failed tremendously. Instead of getting members active the forum bled dry completely.

As we are almost at the end of the year I thought I would give it another try. This time without any spectacular changes. But just by sending out a message that the forum is still around.

Feel ...

Hello everyone,

some animal rights activists are organizing a day against speciesism on 5 June, that would be great if actions are planned in many countries, here is their appeal:



World Day Against Speciesism: June 5, 2010

We exploit and kill hundreds of millions of animals each day. In order to justify that, we have convinced ourselves that their lives and sufferings are not worth much: "they are just animals!"

However, animals are sensitive beings ...

This year there were many events all around the world that publicly demanded the end of slaughterhouses. There were actions in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, Portugal, Bolivia, Brazil, USA, Ireland, England and India! More than 50 towns participated to this international day. Many thanks to all participants! We can say that the expression of this political claim already helped to start the public debate concerning the abolition of the killing of animals for ...

Professor Gary Francione of abolitionistapproach.com started a campaign, a virtual billboard to spread the message "THE WORLD IS VEGAN! If you want it". He also asked not to use the message to make money in any way.

The purpose of this virtual billboard is to remind us that veganism is OUR choice. We have the ability to say no to violence. We have the ability to affirm the personhood of animals. We have the ...

Hi, this is just to tell you that ARCO's Abolitionist is becoming more lively these days. Excerpts:

Should we, without losing sight of the abolitionist approach, add some more emotional/sentimental arguments in order to reach more people?

The Use of the Abolitionist Forum
