The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

MODERATORS
 

Refer to animals as:

Sentient beings, farm animals, he/him, she/her, they/them, fishes, sheeps, cows, chickens, turkeys, ducks, camels, individuals.

Replace idioms that normalize violence towards animals with better ones like "feed two birds with one scone"

I'm not sure how alt-text functions, may I ask how it works?

I suppose I should add a description.

@Well yes, it's the picture description.
