This #Veganuary we're reminded: every bite counts. Every time we sit down to eat, we can help reduce the unnecessary suffering of millions of animals in industrial animal agriculture.
Choosing plant-based also helps lower the heavy environmental cost of animal products.
Thank you for joining us!

At the end of 2025, South Korea has officially ended its bear bile industry. Once the ban is fully implemented, the bears will no longer be bred and kept in tiny cages on bear bile farms.
This is the result of years of tireless advocacy for these bears by several local animal welfare organizations.
