Veganism represents a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude as far as is possible and all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

Veganism promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of Humans, other animals and the environment.

When we look at the sheer numbers of animals raised, caught and killed for food, and the suffering endured by them, we are right to talk about vegan food.

Roughly 60 billion land animals and over a trillion marine animals are used and killed as commodities per year, merely to satisfy the Human taste preferences.

This is needless, as plant-based food and drink alternatives are available in many areas around the World.

Humans take away life. Other animals do not give up their life as some people believe – they have not given consent to be slaughtered.

Cows could live over 20 years, while on dairy farms they are usually shot between 3 – 4 years of age when milk production is no longer profitable.

Chicks are just 6 weeks old when they are killed. Chickens could live to 10 years.

Pigs are typically killed between 4 – 6 months of age, while they could reach 15 years.

Sheep can live 15 years but depending on whether they are slaughtered as lambs or later, they are shot and bled between 3 – 10 months of age.

The rights of animals, people and the planet are deeply interconnected, and solutions are simple.
