SYNOPSIS

Why Should Vegans and Vegetarians be opposed to racism and fascism?

Some fascists (Hitler included) have infamously been vegetarians.  One or two members of the BNP today have been animal rights activists.  The BNP make a big thing about opposition to Kosher and Halal meat.  So why should we be opposed to them?

Fascists want us to see the vast majority of our own species as 'Aliens' and are for the persecution, exclusion and ultimately if 'necessary' the extermination of such aliens.  If this is how they see our own species why would we expect them to be good for any life on earth?
