There are a number of environmental issues that result in animal suffering but reducing one's foot-print on the earth isn't part of veganism. Also things like pet ownership, in particular the ownership of cats.
Can you explain further? I do try and reduce my global footprint and it was as a direct result of being vegan that made me examine the way I live. It isn't a part of veganism as it was a term invented by Donald Watson in the 1940s so worrying about environmental matters wouldn't have been an important issue back then. What do you mean about pet ownership, most (all?) vegans want to see an end to pet ownership but many of us have rescue animals and they need to eat after all so most of us feed them meat.
