For the animals first, environment second, and of course, my own health, which, at 75 years of age - I'm thriving!

I am a new vegan but it has been a long time coming and is the culmination of some eye opening experiences that showed me the way I consumed was not in line with my morals. Never again will I participate in the suffering, abuse and killing of animals.

Veganism is essential for the minimisation of harm to people, non human animals and the earth. It continues the momentum from various movements in recognising the basic rights of individuals regardless of differences, which should be extended to animals.

All animals have the right to live free from human exploitation.

I can live a happy, healthy life without harming others, so why wouldn't I?

For the animals and our planet (our home), vegan forever.

I will never harm an animal or eat or wear animal products! I will do what I can to help those animals in need.

I promise to uphold vegan values forever!

I don't need to harm others to fuel myself.
