Nonhuman animals have the right to own their bodies just as humans do. Respect that right by going vegan.

because to participate in the use of other animals is to view them as things and not persons, which in turn violates the basic moral right that all sentient beings possess, which is the right not to be the property of others.

So if we wouldn’t consider a human being and their body as something to be owned, consumed, worn, etc., then the same holds true for chickens and other nonhuman animals,…
December 8, 2025 at 1:28 PM
We regard humans as persons and not things to own, eat, wear, etc., but nonhuman animals are also persons. Nonhuman animals (just like humans) are sentient beings who subjectively experience life and have interests, including interests in continued existence and not being harmed.

If the answer is no, then you should also reject it for chickens and other nonhuman animals.
December 8, 2025 at 1:28 PM
If we were to take this scenario and put it in the human context would you still agree with using and owning another person and viewing their body and the substances made by their body as a thing to eat, wear, etc.?

Eating eggs reinforces the belief that it is morally acceptable to violate a chicken’s bodily autonomy and that parts of their body are things to consume.
December 8, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Ultimately, when you consume eggs, whether from big farms, small farms, backyards, rescued hens, or even a discarded egg, you are agreeing with the notion that another person’s body and the substances made by their body are things to be owned and used for your own purpose.

and Go Vegan World at goveganworld.com/wp-content/u... . They provide information on why using chickens, consuming the eggs from chickens, and using nonhuman animals is something we should reject.

A common question we are asked when individuals find out we are vegan is, “Why do we believe consuming the eggs of chickens and other nonhuman animals is wrong?”
December 8, 2025 at 1:28 PM
When it comes to what we do with the eggs that the hens lay, we feed the eggs back to them. This allows them to restore some of the nutrients that their bodies used to produce the eggs and to prevent bringing more domesticated nonhuman animals into existence.

a cockfighting case where the focus of their use by humans was not on producing hundreds of eggs within the span of a year, but of breeding “the best” chickens to fight.

Instead, we should be advocating for veganism as a moral baseline to bring about respect for nonhuman animals' rights and the abolition of all nonhuman animal use, and a vegan world that embraces nonviolence towards all sentient beings.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
However, when it comes to advocating for nonhuman animals and people being vegan, we mustn’t promote better treatment of nonhuman animals when using them or “humane” ways to violate their rights (animal welfare), as this only further entrenches speciesism and their property status.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
…stopping your participation in their commodification by going vegan and respecting their right not to be property. If you are vegan, trying to convince others to go vegan, donating to and volunteering at sanctuaries, and adopting are all ways to help nonhuman animals.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
So, if you are not vegan, but you genuinely care about and want to help save the lives of nonhuman animals, the most critical thing you can do for nonhumans is not donating money or time to animal organizations, promoting “compassionate” animal use, or reducing your animal use, but…
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
Speciesism on the other hand is injustice for nonhuman animals and our discriminatory behavior towards them because they are a different species.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
Vegans reject using nonhuman animals for food, clothing, entertainment, or any other purpose, to the extent practicable because these actions violate their fundamental right of not being property.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
We see veganism as a philosophy of justice and peace: the recognition and respect of the basic moral right of nonhuman animals not to be used as property, because they are sentient beings with moral value, and as a peace movement that opposes violence against all sentient beings.
November 24, 2025 at 1:20 PM
The solution to abolishing the use of nonhuman animals is veganism. Usually, when people hear the word vegan, they think of a diet, but being vegan is more than just what you eat.
