Veganism, the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle. Living a vegan life provides numerous benefits to animals' lives, to the environment and to our own health in addition to putting ourselves on a morally high pedestal.

A vegan (pronounced vee-gun) is someone who, for various reasons, chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products. While vegetarians choose not to use flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy products, honey, eggs, fish, fur, leather, wool, down and cosmetics or other products tested on animals either for food or for clothing or for entertainment or for any other purpose. In addition, a vegan also does not support zoos, circuses, animal driven carts, animal riding, caging birds, keeping wild or domestic animals as pets for selfish ends. A vegan always tries to avoid any cruelty and undue exploitation of all animals including humans.
