What
is a Vegan?
A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who, for various reasons,
chooses to avoid using animals or animal products for purposes like
food, clothing, entertaining, experiments, or religious activities.
The
Indian Vegan Society needs your donations to:
-
establish
a charity for helping economically poor vegan children with their
studies
- establish
a permanent vegan education and exhibition centre
- establish
a mobile vegan education program to spread the message of truth
and non-violence among school children and public
- establish
a vegan residential holiday home
- establish
an animal sanctuary
Why
VEGAN?
Veganism,
the natural extension of vegetarianism,
is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle. It is ethically
and morally correct way of living. Living vegan provides numerous
benefits to our own health, animals' lives and to the environment.

FOR
OUR HEALTH:
The consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart
disease, colon and lung cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease,
hypertension, obesity, and a number of other debilitating conditions.
Cows' milk contains ideal amounts of fat and protein for young calves,
but far too much for humans.
FOR
THE ANIMALS:
Despite the common belief that drinking milk or eating eggs does
not kill animals, commercialization of meat, egg and milk production
has made every moment of the lives of animals miserable. Animals
raised or captured for human use are tortured to make them 'use-worthy'.
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT:
Animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the earth. It is
an inefficient way of producing food, since feed for farm animals
requires land, water, fertilizer and other resources that could
otherwise have been used directly for producing human food.
