Facebook, Twitter, and other social media are public. Something that you write on them will be public, or remain accessible for at least some people, forever. On the other hand a mailing list such as the Vegan Mailing List is not public. VEGAN Mailing List is private and does not allow hateful language.

The majority of society says, and believes, that they love animals...so called "pets".Ethical vegans say, and believe, that they love animals...all animals. Society believes that some animals are pets and other are dinner. They think that ethical vegan are weird for loving cows, pigs, chickens, and other so called food "animals". Yet, those “food” animals are equally sentient, equally intelligent, equally unique, when compared to pets. All animals that have a well developed nervous system will feel pain.

Have you ever had a plan to spend a few days of your life in different places on the planet? You could stay in, for example, Brazil, Honduras, Somalia, Palestine, France, Slovenia, Ukraine, Canada, Seoul, Bhutan, New Zealand, and Tasmania. You might have a look at other possible sides of your life there. You could just be deeply amazed that your Heart could be anywhere. You could be overwhelmingly surprised that love could be heard, seen and felt effortlessly the same in all these different places. You might come to complete silence finding yourself no longer British or Russian or German or Indian or Indonesian or American or Chinese or Japanese, or Hindu or Buddhist or Christian. Regardless of their racial, cultural and religious backgrounds, these Earth's residents could share exactly the same feelings, hopes, dreams and virtues. And one thing you could be witnessing might be that Mother Nature would prove to have never drawn any territorial boundaries across the planet.
