V-EGANISM is independent in thoughts and actions, only choosing what is right and just for animals, humans, and the environment. V-EGANISM however does have a mission statement which is how the founder of veganism, Donald Watson, originally coined the word's definition. It was a perfect definition then and it still is a perfect definition now. So the following paragraph is V-EGANISM's official Mission Statement:
"V-EGANISM educates people and helps people and animals regarding the political and social justice cause, Veganism, which is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude--as far as is possible and practical--all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, cosmetics, household products, entertainment, service or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals, and the environment."

0 marine animals 0 chickens 0 ducks 0 pigs 0 rabbits 0 turkeys 0 geese 0 sheep 0 goats 0 cows and calves 0 rodents 0 pigeons and other birds 0 buffaloes 0 dogs 0 cats 0 horses 0 donkeys and mules 0 camels and other camelids
These are the numbers of animals killed worldwide by the meat, egg, and dairy industries since you opened this webpage. These numbers do NOT include the many millions of animals killed each year in vivisection laboratories. They do NOT include the millions of dogs and cats killed in animal shelters every year. They do NOT include the animals who died while held captive in the animal-slavery enterprises of circuses, rodeos, zoos, and marine parks. They do NOT include the animals killed while pressed into such blood sports as bullfighting, cockfighting, dogfighting, and bear- baiting, nor do they include horses and grey- hounds who were exterminated after they were no longer deemed suitable for racing.

Veg Movies Website - Largest collection of Animal Activism films!
We humans aren't the only valuable souls on Earth. Animals have valuable souls also and we should be kind to them, as they are on their own spiritual journey....
One way to be cruelty-free to our companion species is to have a vegan meal. Here are some delicious ones for the American Fourth of July:
As Americans and Canadians (and others who are free) celebrate Independence this week, everyone please remember those who are not free (animals and humans) and do what you can to save them.
This film, Bold Native can now always be seen on the right side of my blog. I will also now have a warning page shown before coming to my blog as Bold Native is rated R for nudity and scenes of animal abuse. Unlike most animal rights films being documentaries, this is a dramatic feature movie film about animal liberation and the best animal film ever to date.
I hope Bold Native inspires you to be bold in whatever positive activism you do.
Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and rinse with cold water.
To make the pesto: In a food processor, blend the walnuts until they become a fine crumb. Drain the sundried tomatoes, keeping the oil for later use. Add the nutritional yeast, sundried tomatoes, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Measure out the oil from the sundried tomatoes into a 1/3 measuring cup, if there’s not enough oil, fill the remainder up with olive oil. Blend the ingredients in the food processor and drizzle in the oil. Scrape down the sides as needed, then blend in the red wine vinegar until well combined.
In a large bowl, add the pasta and 2/3 of the pesto, toss until well coated. Add tomatoes, olives and more pesto as desired, then gently mix again. Top with the julienned basil, parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!
