World Vegan Day

Happy belated world vegan day and a very happy vegan month to all of you!

Yesterday was world vegan day and the 70th anniversary of the Vegan Society. A day to celebrate ourselves, to take a break from the daily burden of bearing witness to the most horrendous suffering and a day to relieve ourselves from having to justify every single thing we put on our plates. We should use this day to regain some of the energy we put into being animal witnesses every single day of our vegan lives.

And for the spiritually inclined amongst us, seeing that this day also marks the day of the dead and all saints, let us not forget the countless souls we kill every day, just so we can exist. Let us remember that even as vegans we are not exempt from this truth and let us mourn together and find new ways to reduce our impact upon the world.

Let us also forgive ourselves for just one moment on this special day.
