Melanie Flynn discusses crime, harm and victimisation from a vegan perspective, proposing that a vegan policy agenda should not focus just on consumption of animals for dietary and household provisions, but also on the effects of policies and practice, particularly amongst public sector and governmental organisations.
The Vegan Society define veganism as “a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose” [emphasis added].
I believe, therefore, that a vegan policy agenda should not focus just on consumption of animals for dietary and household provisions, but also on the effects of policies and practice, particularly amongst public sector and governmental organisations. Thus, institutional speciesism should also be challenged.
