Why Should You Go Vegan?

Because every animal is an individual who can feel. Cows are curious, social animals who form lifelong friendships. Hens are devoted mothers who sing to their chicks before they even hatch. On farms, these sensitive animals may spend their entire lives in filthy, feces-caked sheds, where they can’t form meaningful relationships, roam in the grass, or even breathe fresh air. No one wants to be exploited for their milk or eggs or slaughtered for their flesh.
