From Emily Wolfe, Bristol, UK
Phil Nicholls is unclear about the advocacy of total commitment to veganism (Letters, 10 February). He seems to consider only the environmental motivation. So while he is right to suggest that 90 per cent veganism would be a good effort, many people adopt a 100 per cent vegan lifestyle because they don't want to collude with an industry that inflicts unnecessary suffering and early death on animals. To such people, it is clearly not acceptable to say “I only debeak chickens and castrate lambs one day in 10”.
