World Vegan Day


vegetarians reported significantly less negative emotion than omnivores.”


World Vegan Day is an annual event celebrated on 1 November, by vegans around the world. The Day was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, the President & Chair of The Vegan Society UK. 2012 marks the 68th anniversary of the term 'vegan'. 

Veganism is a great alternative to eating meat, which we can only get by killing animals! Furthermore, vegan farming can help us to banish world hunger - it helps protect water reserves, fertile lands, and cuts out greenhouse gas emissions.


 Whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or        weekday vegetarian," going veggie-friendly can be good for both your physical and mental health. Science Daily notes that a vegetarian diet is associated with low blood pressure and cholesterol, better heart health and even lower rates of cancer. But being vegetarian doesn't just make you physically fit; it might make you happier too. 

Staying away from bacon and steak can be a struggle, but if you choose to try, you aren't alone. 

On the Vegan day, please give your support to keep Animal Voices going.

  1. I appreciate this blog. Could you please write this in Sinhala(and if possible in Tamil too)?
    Our people still think meat is a must for our survival! Our vegetables are amply enough to be healthy mentally and physically.
