I retired in 2009 after spending most of my adult life as a national television news technician. Since going vegan after hearing a speech by Professor Gary L. Francione in 2004, I have been devoted to educating people about Abolitionist veganism. Veganism is far more than a diet. To not eat, wear, or otherwise use animals or animal products is a matter of fundamental justice—an acknowledgment of the moral personhood of nonhuman animals—a rejection of violence and our speciesist social paradigm, a moral obligation we owe all animals—human and nonhuman.
