Why is intersectional ethical veganism is ‘the way to go’? What’s most important to you in ethical veganism?
We asked:
Mariana Cerovečki the guitarist of the Brainfuckers, vegan band from Zagreb, Croatia:
“I think the most important part is to be active in all parts of oppression: veganism, animal rights, human rights. We cannot fight for a better world if we forget about the suffering of humans also. That is why we sing about animal rights but also about human rights (poverty, injustice, LGBTIQ rights, feminism, etc.). We want people to make the connection and fight in every movement where there is oppression and injustice. As for veganism, of course for us the most important part is animal freedom and abolition of animal exploitation, empty cages and nothing less!”
Brainfuckers – The Torture
every day
brings another torture
let them stare again and again
it wont be long
until we all
face the same
reality
it wont be long
until we fade away
I can’t sleep no more
I used to dream of freedom and family
but who am I now?
another victim of reality
how does it feel
to be alive?
how does it feel
to be alive?
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
to shut down another life
they say there is no meaning to my life
they say there is no meaning for my body
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
and now we’re falling together in
death
I can’t sleep no more
I can’t sleep no more
I used to dream of freedom and family
but who am I now?
another victim of reality
how does it feel
to be alive?
how does it feel
to be alive?
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
the terrible creatures arrive
to shut down another life
