New Ethic

This is the new ethic

Animals' lives are their own and must be given respect

Reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains

The oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals

It's time to set them free

Their lives reduced to biomachines in the factory, farm and laboratory

Dairy, eggs and meat, fur, suede, wool,

Leather are the end products of torture, confinement and murder

I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life

Wildlifes' right to live in peace in their natural environment

Without this civilization's interference can no longer be denied

Must no longer be denied

To make a civilization worthy of the word civilized

The cruelty must end starting within or own lives

Reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains

The oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals

It's time to set them free

Veganism is the essence of compassion and peaceful living

The animals are not ours to abuse or dominate

I abjure their use out of reverence

I abjure their use out of reverence

I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life
