Because animals are sentient, thinking, feeling individuals who deserve bodily autonomy. I do not have the right to exploit them. I believe humans are moral agents and should reject the idea that animals exist for humans to use.

Vegan for the animals. For the atrocities committed on our most innocent sentient beings, I will be vegan for life, which will be a long one as the health benefits are an added bonus. All animals, every single one of them deserves THEIR life!

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.

I pledge to live a happy healthy life without harming or causing suffering to any sentient beings.

I have been a vegan for years and am a trained vegan chef, plant based nutritionist and health coach. I feel it is the most important thing in my life, not only looking after my own health and those I cook for but also for the planet.

Vegan for the animals, the planet, and it's a revolutionary way to say no to rampant capitalism.

To me, veganism means kindness.

I was inspired to go vegan by my wonderful colleagues.

I pledge to continue choosing kindness to animals over cruelty.
