The new Students Opposing Speciesism (SOS) x Don’t Eat The Homies shirt says what we’re all thinking: Eating animals is backward AF. And one day, future generations will look back and wonder why people thought it was OK to violently slaughter sentient beings for a meal. (Many of us are already wondering why people think that now!)
We all have a responsibility to make the kindest choices possible and to do our best to reduce suffering of any kind for every kind. By going vegan, we can help turn the tide of history toward compassion—and spare animals’ lives in the process.
Don’t Eat The Homies—whose motto reads, “Your voice can change the world”—has evolved from its humble grassroots origins. The company was never meant to be a clothing brand—it was initially just a form of self-expression. It was created to spread a movement for peace and to inspire awareness of and compassion for the most vulnerable beings among us.
Animals are us, and we are animals. Like humans, our fellow animals feel joy, sadness, fear, and pain. We must learn to see their suffering as an extension of our own. Our differences don’t justify cruelty—and exploiting others simply because we can or because they’re different is wrong.
Be on the right side of history.
Proceeds from the sale of this shirt will support SOS, a PETA-backed program in which young activists around the U.S. and Canada are smashing the status quo of human supremacy.
