An ethical vegan is someone who adopts a lifestyle that excludes, as far as is possible and practical, all forms of animal exploitation, cruelty, and harm. This philosophy extends beyond diet to encompass all aspects of life.
Food: Refraining from consuming animal products, such as meat, dairy, eggs, honey, and gelatin, as well as avoiding foods with animal-derived ingredients (e.g., whey, lactose, casein).
Clothing: Avoiding clothing made from animal products like leather, fur, silk, wool, and down, and opting for synthetic or plant-based alternatives.
Entertainment: Refraining from supporting industries that exploit animals for entertainment, such as circuses, zoos, and animal shows.
Personal care: Choosing cruelty-free and vegan-friendly personal care products, avoiding those tested on animals or containing animal-derived ingredients 💚
