I'm just wondering how others approach insects. Obviously, vegans don't eat them or support silk or bee products, but there are other situations which, to me, are less straight forward. If you have harmful insects in your home (cockroaches, for instance) or an insect infestation, what do you...

A noun is a person, place, or thing. Humans are people. Tables are things. What about animals? They seem much more like humans than tables. When I think about it, it feels wrong to refer to them as things. But is it correct to refer to them as people? If so, would all animals be people...

As a vegan, I regularly have these experiences...just wondering whether I'm the only one. Please read before commenting. Please do not comment if all you have to say is that I'm "narrow" or "judgemental" or "need therapy." Please do not comment to make a case for why your unethical behaviour...

I just want to start off by saying that I consider veganism to be an ethical lifestyle that is against all animal exploitation, so far as is practicable and possible (vegan society definition). So, if someone doesn't eat any animal products, but still wears animal skin or fur, he's not vegan...

A few days ago, I tried a water fast. I've done shorter ones before (24 hrs) but this time I went 60 hours. I was originally planning on 72 hrs, but on day 2 of not eating anything, I felt pretty weak and wanted to get back to my normal energy. The first day of reintroducing food, I stuck to...

I've been vegan for a little over a year (in other words, not very long); yet, it seems the longer I'm vegan, the harder I find it to be around those who aren't. I live with non-vegans and can't stand the smell of cooking meat. I don't even like to use the same pan or utensils that the meat or...

I'm in London now with family and everyone wants to go to the London zoo for our one big family 'day out.' I said I'd rather not go there, suggested an alternative attraction, but also said that I'd ultimately bow out with no more said if that's really what they wanted to do. They don't really...

I've been vegan for several months and most areas of veganism seem cut and dry to me. Eating meat, fishing, wearing fur, using make up that was tested on animals, and many other aspects are a no brainer for me. There are, however, a few grey areas which I crave the opinion of other vegans on...

My aunt gave me a few non-vegan xmas presents. She lives far away and I don't see her often. She's very nice and we get along, but because we haven't spent much time together, we aren't close. She comes from another country from me where vegans aren't very common. I was vegetarian for years...
