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.

For the animals, for life.

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

Being vegan is important to me because of health and the welfare of sentient creatures.

Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul. If you love animals you don't eat them.

Enslaving animals, upsetting the eco balance, deforestation, poluting water with leftover materials in slaughter houses, reducing the nutrient and taste in plant based diets, destroying the atmosphere with opening new coal mines that pollute our air...

To prevent animal cruelty and for the planet's health.

We do it for the animals. All of us. The exploitation of animals for food, adornment, entertainment and research is OVER. Together we will do this. It is so hard living everyday knowing their pain.

I pledge to live a vegan lifestyle, choosing compassion over cruelty, and advocating for animal rights in every action, meal, and choice I make.
