V-EGANISM

MISSION STATEMENT

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."

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.

Plant-Based Vegan Doctors

I don't know how many of you are experiencing any issues with the veg diet but if so, please see a nutritionist, preferably one who knows a veg diet. I've heard my share of stories (including from celebrities) who stop being veg because of a health issue and when they mention the issue, many of us veg people know the reason right away (almost always an easy solution) and wonder why they didn't seek professional help, if they didn't want to put in the effort of researching themselves for answers.

Maybe it's because of fear of doctors or medical costs…whatever the case may be, I want to mention two vegan doctors who have been around since I became vegan in the early 80's. They both have a huge website for people who are veg and want to stay healthy. Obviously, there is no substitute for actually going to a doctor in person to diagnose any issues and give you answers, but if you want to research yourself and/or just to get more info on the veg diet, check out these two sites I highly recommend:

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Dr. Neal Barnard's website
