To the editor:

In my last letter about veganism, I talked about "why be vegan." Again, it generated many comments — most of them positive. One question stood out: ''What is really at the core of veganism's belief system.''

Just what we need, with all of the tension and controversy swirling around, is another "ISM" to cast at people.

I think your takeaway from this article should be,

“it is now time for humanity to recognize that all sentient beings should be treated with respect and compassion. The first step is to recognize that every animal has the right to live their lives free from exploitation and abuse.”

It’s not a matter “another ISM to cast on people”. It’s a matter of extending compassion to all sentient beings.
