Vegan?

A vegan is someone who does not consume any animal products and avoids the exploitation of animals. Why? Animals used by the food, entertainment, clothing, and experimentation industries suffer from extreme abuse and neglect at the hands of people. Factory farmed animals receive horrific treatment, such as lifelong confinement, painful castration, and even boiling alive. Animals in labs die by the thousands from induced illnesses and injuries without veterinary care. Animals in circuses are even beaten to perform for humans. We can avoid this unnecessary torture with a plant-based diet and cruelty-free products. No matter how different we are from other species, we are co-citizens of the Earth, and we are animals too. They, like us, can suffer. The only road to compassion is to recognize that they are not our property, our food, or our entertainment. VEGAN -- For the people, for the planet, for the animals.
