Why Go Vegan?
Veganism is, simply put, choosing not to eat or even use animal based products. From the food perspective, it is not to eat any meats, nor consume dairy or egg in any of their many forms.
Just like humans, animals are sentient creatures with feelings and personalities. They experience pleasure and happiness, fear and anxiety. If you've ever had pets, you know that they each have their own unique personality. Some non-vegetarians and non-vegans say, what about fish? Even fish experience fear and distress. Their heart beats rise and they flee in a flash under anxiety. Even though they cannot always express it in an understandable way to us, every animal is sentient and intelligent. To respect the lives of others, go vegan.
There are plenty of other reasons to go Vegan based on continued animal cruelty in the raising and killing of our animal friends. For more information check out the links below:
