Humanity’s true moral test

“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated " Mahatma Gandhi

What is veganism?

Veganism means following a plant-based diet, that is, no meat, fish, eggs, dairy, gelatine, rennet, cochineal, honey or drinks that involve animal products in the refining process. Many vegans, especially those that follow the diet for ethical reasons, also avoid animal skins or using toiletries tested on animals or containing animal products.

People become vegan for a number of different reasons - the main one is concern for animal welfare and practices that involve cruelty to animals. Moral vegans feel the dairy and egg industries severely mistreat animals. Other people follow a vegan or mainly vegan life to slash their fat levels and become healthier.
