I'm vegan because I truly believe that every single being deserves to be happy, and I want to make sure I'm not causing any harm to others through my choices. I don't want anyone to be treated in a way that I don't want to be treated.

Since becoming vegan I finally feel like the best version of myself by honouring, respecting and protecting animals as individual, sentient beings with the same rights, feelings and fears as us humans when it comes to living a life free from harm.

Vegan for the last 6 months and enjoying it!

I pledge to all of the above. Vegan for life

Vegan is healthy and kind to animals. The best change I have ever made. No animal should suffer in any way. We can live a healthy life without hurting animals.

Living a vegan lifestyle and contribute to a gentler and kinder relationship between humans and other species in the planet.

I'm vegan for the animals as I think it's cruel and unnecessary to harm any animals - they don't eat us. I eat a plant based diet and it's so diverse and tasty. Eat plants, not animals. Reward your body and feel good.

A vegan world is definitely coming and I would love to be a part of this.

I pledge to put innocent lives over greed, murder, torture and cruelty.

I don't want to harm animals.

Animal agriculture is an unsustainable practice that drains and contaminates our natural resources. Animals deserve to be treated with respect and not be mass farmed and exploited for our convenience and taste buds.

I will do my utmost to never use animal products, promote a happy, healthy vegan lifestyle to others, sign petitions, make submissions and treat all animals with the respect they deserve.

My son, (and later my daughter) became vegan for the animals. At first I prepared vegan meals for our health but now am also vegan for the animals and the planet.

For the love of all sentient beings and the future of our planet I am vegan!

I have been meat free for over 20 years and recently become vegan. I love all animals and just had to make a stand against their exploitation.

Being vegan is important to me because I believe that all sentient beings deserve the right to live and feel respected the same way that I would want all human beings to be.

I choose not to harm animals in any way. Being vegan is about putting animals first and educating others about their welfare.

Kavi the human is Toby the dog, is Toby the calf, is Rougue the chicken.

Knowing you are saving animals by being vegan is a wonderful way to live.

For the animals, planet Earth and my health.

I love animals and would like to live in a world that doesn't harm or exploit them.

I could no longer justify the killing or abuse of sentient animals purely for my human satisfaction. Why eat something that causes harm when there are so many alternatives that are just as delicious & nutritious?! A vegan lifestyle is the only way for me!

For the animals.

I love being vegan!!

I pledge to be vegan for the rest of my life, for myself and for a better world.

Vegan for 30 years thanks to Dr Neal Barnard lecturing in Sydney and vegetarian for 8 years before. This helps save animals from abuse, helps the planet to retain a liveable climate and potentially maximises human health - so it's win-win-win!

Vegan for the animals and the environment, forever!

I vow to build a truly compassionate world, guided by the suffering of animals I hear and feel so deeply, and I will be a voice for them through my vegan choices. I see you, I hear you and I feel you.

It was 17 years ago that I made a lifelong pledge to be vegan. Veganism was the logical choice for me as someone who opposes all forms of oppression. It made no sense to neglect animals in my consideration that no one should ever be harmed or exploited.

Animals should never suffer for our vanity, consumption or entertainment and deserve to be treated with kindness, respect and equality.

I love animals

Trying to do the least harm possible, every day.

The reason I'm vegan is for the animals. They suffer so greatly and I do not want to be a participant in the cruelty inflicted on these gentle and kind animals. I've seen enough evidence and am shocked at what goes on out of the public's sight!

The best decision I have ever made. I only wish I made it sooner.

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

I see your suffering, I hear your cries, and I will never give up fighting for your right to live free from human inflicted cruelty and suffering. This planet is your home too, and you life matters. Forever vegan for you.

Kindness shouldn't kill, and it's great for human health and longevity. Plant based lifestyle enhances all your senses and sense of self.

Animals are friends, not food.

I pledge to live my life not harming animals by living a 100% vegan life.

Killing animals is bad.

Primarily, it's my love for the animals, who are sentient beings who deserve the same rights as human animals. Secondary is my love of Mother Nature and caring for my health.

I'm vegan because I love all living things. When I got into philosophy, I found that I can't love animals and call myself morally consistent if I still ate them. It just makes sense, and I'm happier now too. There's no world where I stop, I don't want to.

Animals all deserve to live a full life.

I'm no longer a part of a horrible and disgusting part of society. One of the best changes I've ever made for myself.

Doing it for the animals.

I pledge to walk lightly on this Earth and respect all lives.

For the animals, for the planet, for all of us. I've been vegan for ten years and will remain so for life.

I am vegan thru and thru, I pledge to continue this beautiful loving way of life and will continue to do so in my lifetime here on earth.

Vegan for the animals. We need to be a voice for animals as they are powerless to the system

I pledge to live my life with open eyes, heart and mind to the suffering of the billions of animals. I can no longer campaign as I once did due to health issues, but i will never stop being a voice for the animals.

For the souls we share this ride with.

I am fully committed to this initiative. I have been vegan for the past 5 years and will be for the rest of my life. Animals must have the right to live on our planet freely and peacefully.

I want to live in a world where animals are seen as sentient beings and protected from harm.

Vegan for the animals!

No animal deserves to be eaten, they deserve love.

Animals' lives matter. I have been vegan for 55 years and we must stand up for the voiceless.

Been vegan since 2015, was vegetarian from 2010.

Staying hopeful for a kinder future.

I am a vegan for life. No animal should die or be tortured for me.

I simply just can't understand why we harm other animals so much. I'm vegan for them. It is too cruel what humans have been doing to other species.

Why do the majority of humans find the killing and eating of some animals, principally herbivores, unremarkable and inculpable, while killing and particularly eating other animals, especially humans, is reflexively condemned as repulsive and taboo? See thecannibalguy.com

"Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow." - River Phoenix

Being vegan is important to me for animal welfare and my health.

Being vegan is important to me because of animals.

No being should suffer for indulgence.

When if I'm unable to cook my vegan meals anymore and there isn't vegan food available to me, I will die. Promise.

Being vegan is important to me because of improvement in environment.

Choosing a vegan lifestyle is a promise to honour the planet, respect all living beings, and foster a healthier future for ourselves and generations to come.

I pledge to do all I can to not contribute to the suffering of animals and encourage others to do the same

To help save animals and for good health.

If we can live happy and healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?!

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

I have been a vegan for around 40 years because of my belief that animals should never be exploited in any way by humans, for any reason, ever!

I've been vegan for 10 years and proudly continue this path. I'm joining the Vegan Pledge to stand with others who choose compassion and a kinder world for all beings.

Being vegan is important to me for the animals and for health and wellbeing.

#veganfuture - It's the only ethical way to live.

I pledge to follow the Sanskrit "Ahimsa" for the rest of my life. Vegan forever.

If you can love the dog sitting on your lap, is it really so hard to love the pig sitting on your plate too? I called myself an animal lover while contributing to the mass slaughter of billions of animals globally, I'm vegan now and hope to never look back.

Vegan for life, vegan forever.

I'm proudly vegan & will help any way I can to end animal suffering.

The value of a life is more than whether I think it tastes good. All animals deserve to live and to live a good life.

"When we can live happy, healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?"

Vegan for the animals, always.

Animals. They should never be hurt.

Being vegan is important to me because animals are not commodities! To be an animal lover means ALL animals. I am always a voice for the animals.

I am against animal cruelty.

I pledge to remain vegan for the rest of my life.

How wonderful for the world if everyone became vegan.

I'm against cruelty, harm and slaughter. I care about our planet and know how massively the meat and dairy industries are hurting it. I want to be a voice for the voiceless. It's evil to eat or exploit animals. Also tofu slaps.

Animals have the right not to be exploited.

Vegan for the animals and for the planet.

I have been vegan for nearly 9 years and I pledge to remain vegan, to respect the sentience of other species on our planet, to live my life with kindness.

I am newly vegan. For life. Stop animal cruelty.

I see and hear so many horrific things that animals go through. I cannot be one of those people who eat these poor animals. Let them live with us not for us.

I believe that all animals should be treated with love, compassion, kindness and respect. They are not property or commodities to be used, abused and exploited.

To put it simply, it's about caring for every creature on earth by understanding their place in this world as we would care for a loved one. It's about practicing what's right.
