To be fair, I think that just about every vegan wants to exist in a world that has no need for slaughterhouses. However, those of us that are in touch with that very same world, know that it will never happen. I recycle, but that doesn't stop my neighbor from throwing his plastic bottles right into the trash. My choice (both to recycle and to be a vegan) may have a positive impact on the things I believe in, but one person (or a million) will not just make the world decide to pick up and change a since-humans-existed habit: humans eating animals.
