What is Veganism?
We don’t buy cosmetics, toiletries, household products, etc, that contain animal ingredients or have been tested on animals.
We also don’t support the breeding of animals for “pets”, instead, we adopt animals from shelters and give them a loving home for life as companions.
We’d like to add this line from Evolve Campaigns U.K to the definition of veganism:
Why Vegan?
That means, not paying for the needless exploitation of and violence towards animals so we can enjoy a sandwich, for example, is the least we can do. Choosing vegan options for meat, dairy, eggs, and honey to avoid the needless exploitation and killing of innocent beings, is the least we can do.
All of the animal exploiting industries cause immense pain and suffering to animals. Many of these animals are bred into existence solely for the purpose of being slaughtered or exploited.
They are denied the basic right and freedom to live their lives as they choose to.
In the food and clothing industries, animals are enslaved, confined, mutilated, violated, and ultimately slaughtered against their will.
The only reason this happens, is because there is a market for it. When consumers demand these products, industry responds and produces them. That’s very powerful because it means consumers can also help to start to end this violence by not buying animal products, and instead creating demand for vegan products.
But the truth is that all animals, irrespective of the type of farm they are raised on, end up in the same place – a slaughterhouse. They are all terrified when they’re forced to walk to their death, and they all suffer the same violent fate.
It’s cruel and totally unnecessary, especially considering the abundance of vegan options for food, clothing, personal and household products, etc.
