Each year on November 1st people all around the world come together to celebrate the animal lives they have saved and the good they have done the planet by going vegan. By refusing to consume animal bodies, milk, eggs, skin, fur and feathers, every vegan saves around 100-200 animal lives per year – which adds up to billions worldwide.
If you have always wanted to do more to help cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys, pigs, fish, ducks, geese and other beings, there isn’t a more compassionate way to do it. You’d also be doing the planet and your own health a favour along the way.
