Why Should I Go Vegan?
Veganism is rooted in compassion and justice for animals. Choosing a vegan lifestyle means rejecting the use and killing of animals for food, clothing, testing or any other purpose. Learn why going vegan matters for animal rights and how your choices can help reduce suffering.
