I have been sold (and bought) omnivorism for all my life up till now and I regret it. My health and happiness have both improved now I've let that go.

I grew up in rural areas and as a child I couldn't understand why humans ate animals. As an adult I pledge to contribute to a world of kindness, do no harm, without cruelty.

Animals have the right not to be exploited.

I pledge to do no harm where I can choose not to. To see animals as someone, not something. To live with empathy, to educate with kindness and to lead by example. My plate, my voice and my path will reflect love.

It's about time the cult of carnism gets abolished and left where it always should've stayed - the Dark Ages. Power back to the people! Away with the cult of carnism and the medicopharmaceutical parasites who profit from our misery!

Vegan for the animals. No hesitation after taking 50 years for my eyes and heart to be opened. Plant-based for my health, for our precious planet and for my grandchildren and those to come.

The kindest thing I can do for all living creatures and our planet is to live a vegan lifestyle.

Knowing that my choices are going towards helping save innocent animals from dying.

I've been a vegan for 11 years and will never go back!
