Veganism and anarchy go together because neither believe in hierarchy. That is the root meaning of anarchy...Ancient Greek ἀναρχία (anarchía) < ἀν- (an-, “not”), + ἀρχός (archos, “ruler, authority”). It does not mean, at least in the political sense, chaos. Vegans do not believe in a hierarchy of species, with humans at the top and insects at the bottom. They do not exploit animals for what they produce either...so they do not eat dairy but neither do they eat honey (full explanation here). Even more extreme are fruitarians, who will only eat fruit that falls naturally from the plant. There is a movement called Great ape personhood to include apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans) in the category of people.
So we spent hours placing plastic bowls with tasty morcels in strategic places, hoping that the mouse would somehow jump into the bowl which would enable us to deposit it outside. As I implied earlier, this mouse was very relaxed around us. Would stroll around. Do the mice know it's a vegan restaurant?
Dvd, the waitress, at this suggestion, pronounced enigmatically: "Mice have nerves nearer to their brains than we do." They talked about getting in a cat. "So it's allright if another animal kills it, but not us?" I asked.
