The Pledge Wall below shows the personal messages from vegans who have taken the Vegan Pledge.
For the animals. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. To quote Gary L Francione: 'The idea that we have the right to inflict suffering and death on other sentient beings for the trivial reasons of palette pleasure and fashion, is morally repugnant historically'.
Vegan for the animals and now, for my health too!
Vegan for 20 years & will never go back. It's never been easier! The quote that says it best for me is "when we can live happy, healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?"
Being vegan is my way of showing how much I love animals. I'm not prepared to be part of a world that exploits these beautiful sentient creatures who suffer immensely at the hands of humans.
Have been plant based for so many years and now want to take my pledge to not take another being's life.
We need to extend our compassion to all beings, including animals and people who are different to us. There is no point being a bigoted and racist vegan.
I promise to do the best I can, when I know better I aim to do better.
Cannot stand to be the cause of suffering or taking a life that doesn't belong to me.
Newly vegan and developing my knowledge.
Breaks my heart what is being done to these poor animals. There's no way I could pay for their suffering after seeing footage from the slaughterhouses.
Why is being vegan important to me? Simply, they feel and I feel everything the same. They and I feel fear, kindness, terror and physical and psychological PAIN. They are born and bred as an excuse for food. Huge lies! We humans live guilt free and more healthier being vegan.
Animal rights and welfare.
I pledge to live vegan to honour and protect all sentient beings, to minimise my impact on earth, and to benefit my own health and the wellbeing of others.
I believe in compassion over cruelty. I don't want to be the reason animals continue to suffer.
I believe that all animals have a right to exist free from exploitation from humans.
I will be 100% vegan!
One consciousness.
Showing love and respect for all animals and living by my values. I believe they have the right to live free from abuse and exploitation by humans.
Animals are my friends, not my food. Every creature deserves to live their life with freedom.
I am vegan! How exciting about the education campaign, YES!
Your future is in your hands.
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.
Vegan because it's the least I can do.
Being vegan is important to me to save the planet.
Humans are no more important than any other animal. All animals (from the extremely minute to the extremely large, and all in between) are beautiful sentient beings who deserve our love and respect. Vegetarian most of my life. Now vegan for 12 years.
To me, veganism means the lifestyle that condemns the exploitation of sentient beings.
For the animals and a kinder world!
Being vegan is a kinder, healthier way to live. 'Somebody thought of it - and someone believed it' (and then a whole lot of people agreed). That's how every belief system happens and that is how treating animals as commodities happened. Time to change.
Animals have the right not to be exploited.
To stop animal suffering - we have no right to inflict pain and death on other living creatures.
I am and will forever be vegan for the animals for the rest of my life.
I will never eat an animal product.
I am vegan for the animals
31 years vegan, no plans to stop.
Because I will not be a party to the brutal treatment and killing of billions of sentient beings with her we share the planet.
I love all Animals and promise never to eat, use or hurt them, intentionally or unintentionally
Veganism, I believe, is the most effective way available to us to fight for animal justice and to join the struggle against global boiling which is already costing millions of human and animal lives.
Being vegan is important to me because of animal welfare, personal health and environmental reasons.
I want to be vegan because I want to stop eating meat that is why and I want to take the pledge.
I became vegan many years ago because the thought of killing an animal just to eat their flesh repulsed me. The unexpected benefits have been amazing, not withstanding the most delicious meals I have ever eaten.
Being vegan is crucial for me as all creatures deserve the right to autonomy and freedom, and to be safe and loved.
I don't want to harm animals.
Do no harm
To live with kindness, care and compassion for all
Being vegan is clean and green, better for individuals and the planet. I feel so good knowing my lifestyle choices do no harm to others and I still get to eat yummy food! A win all round!
I ensure that my diet consists wholly of plant foods, with no products derived from animals.
I have been vegan for 13 years and I still feel so good! I also feel great for the animals and the planet!
Modern factory farming is a source of unfathomable pain and suffering. I couldn't respect myself if I were to knowingly participate in the perpetuation of those practices, when readily available alternatives are accessible.
My lung capacity improved from 42% to 56% in 3 months of eating vegan, no other lifestyle changes. I was honestly surprised by my result, bonus health benefits with everything else that this tender loving earth lifestyle provides.
I have been vegan for 10 years and will always and forever remain vegan. I refuse to support any form of animal exploitation or cruelty. My planned humanitarian animal projects will come to fruition as soon as I am funded.
For the animals & the planet!
As caretaker at an animal sanctuary and having formed personal bonds with the animals at the sanctuary, I recognise veganism as the logical extension of human rights and see animal exploitation as the world's most pressing moral emergency of our time.
I pledge to not take the life of an animal or eat it because they deserve to live as much as I do.
Animals should never suffer for our vanity, consumption or entertainment and deserve to be treated with kindness, respect and equality.
Because I can eat delicious, healthy food without causing animals to suffer.
Every time I consider choosing hedonism or greater ease at the expense of another living being's freedom and agency to live their own beautiful life, when I am a human with so much privilege to choose another way, the trade-off feels impossibly unjust.
We do vegan!
I am proud to be vegan and i promise to do all i can to help end the exploitation of animals.
Ending the exploitation and suffering of animals is extremely important to me.
Aiming to reduce harm as much as possible and practicable is be the lowest bar for humans. We are in the unique position of being able to self-determine what is right and wrong, and we're not beholden to instinct. Exploiting animals for pleasure is wrong.
To quote Edgar's Mission "If we could live happy and healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn't we?" I am not above others and every sentient being deserves to live as much as I do.
Knowing that my choices are going towards helping save innocent animals from dying.
Being vegan is important for me because I believe that animals should be treated with respect and not used and abused as a way of making money. Animals are pure innocence and are sentient beings.
The hypocrisy of living in a pet obsessed country while consuming and exporting animals condemned to death was too much for me to bare.
I want to live in a world where animals are seen as sentient beings and protected from harm.
I vow to contribute in any small way I can to make the world a kinder, more compassionate place for those innocent beings who cannot speak out for themselves.
I oppose all cruelty to animals. As a vegan I'll promote kindness and compassion with every living creature wherever I can.
Vegan for 12 years and counting!
I pledge to live a healthy life fuelling my body on plant foods only and doing everything in my power to avoid causing harm to other sentient beings, especially our voiceless and vulnerable animal friends.
Being vegan is important to me because I have realised this earth only survives when we think in terms of others, not simply ourselves. I want to, and have done so for over a decade, continue to save as many lives from cruelty as possible and save the planet in the process.
Veganism means the end needless animal exploitation and suffering.
I will work in small ways every day to make a difference in the lives of animals.
If we could live our lives happily and healthily without harming others... Why wouldn't we?
I pledge that, as a vegan, to boycott animal exploitations, adhere to vegan principles and stand proud with other vegans for animal activism.
Vegan for animals, the planet and my health.
Being vegan is important to me because animals experience pain and trauma much as we do.
Being vegan is important to me because non-human animals are here to live a life for themselves, they aren't here for us. A life free from oppression, harm, violence and exploitation. Because when we allow the oppression of one, we welcome the oppression of all.
For the animals, people and planet.
For the animals, the planet and my health.
I'll always be vegan, for the rest of my life. I plan to do a great deal in the future to bring about a better life for all animals on our beautiful planet.
Always choose kindness
I will not be the cause of an animal to suffer. Humans can easily thrive on plants.
Being vegan means that I get to live honouring my values and principles.
I've been veg*n since 1976.
I care deeply about the welfare of animals as sentient beings and view their harm and exploitation in the same way I would towards humans. Animals have a right to a peaceful existence in the same way we expect for people.
So sorry I didn't become began sooner and vegan for the animals first and foremost.
I first went vegan over 11 years ago. In the face of such cruelty in factory farms I view it as a moral essential.
I have been a vegan for over a year or more. And my reason for been a vegan is for health and fitness and to give our animals a chance in life.
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 animals.
Veganism is to love and be kind to all living things - because we all are one! We are connected! All lives matter.
Being vegan is important to me because of improvement in environment.
Animals were not put on this planet to be exploited or consumed. They each have an important role in the fabric of our ecosystem and the right to live a full, safe and uninterrupted life.
I promise that as a vegan I will always be an advocate for animals and never participate in any kind of exploitation of them. I commit to fighting for justice for all animals always.
Animal lives matter to me.
I'm vegan because animals should have the right to live a safe life, free from abuse and exploitation.
