Vegan Nation features a special on the Abolition Amendment, a proposed amendment to the United States constitution (first draft published 12/25/2015, final draft published 12/6/2016).

Upon ratification, the Abolition Amendment will abolish the property status of all animals within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, thereby putting an immediate end to the meat, dairy, egg, fur, vivisection, and other exploitation- and killing-based industries.

The Abolition Amendment (proposed 2016), which will, upon ratification, abolish all forms of slavery, regardless of species; unlike the Northwest Ordinance and the 13th Amendment, the Abolition Amendment provides no exceptions to the prohibition of slavery. Section 1 of the Abolition Amendment (proposed 2016) intentionally and specifically does NOT include the clause “…except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted…”

Vegan Nation embraces authentic Veganism, the Golden Rule – ‘Don’t do unto others that which you wouldn’t want done unto you, your loved ones, tribe & community’, and the understanding of the Boomerang Effect – ‘As you sow, so you will reap’ . As we collectively sow, humanity eventually reaps – affecting someone, somewhere, in some way, at sometime within the endless rounds of Being. As such, authentic Veganism (Animal liberation) is essential for peace, justice, sustainability, abundance and freedom for all on Earth. The basis of Veganism is compassion.
