Shouting about the disgrace of our society. We need to face upto the fact that killing animals is just unacceptable. Do something worthwhile today. Be vegan.
It is important as a vegan to know other vegans. You can feel lost in the world of meat eaters and sometimes it helps to feel supported. You can easily find others making a stand about living in peace with animals by searching for local vegetarian and vegan groups. You can also look for groups on the internet, even go through the groups on facebook by typing in ‘vegan’ and you will find lots of people who share your views.
Even if you just have a question or want to say hello. You don’t have to be an animal rights campaigner (although if you are a vegan your lifestyle does reflect that naturally!) to be a part of a caring community of people who are being a voice for those with none. If you are unsure where to start come and find me on facebook (Jill Forrest, picture of me doing yoga with my son). I have always said one person may feel like they cannot make a differecne but think of all those one persons together and it can make change possible.
I used to eat meat, wear leather and basically had the same contempt for animals which I see on a daily basis everywhere I look. I became a vegetarian after seeing newborn lambs prancing around and not wanting to be responsible for them being murdered. I became a vegan when I was thinking of breastfeeding my son and finally understood what the dairy industry is all about. What I know now, I did not know then. No longer living in ignorance, I have no option but to write this blog.

I argee… Im trying to find someone who lives near me that is vegan where we can support each other… I feel put down all the time by people around me like im some kind of fussy annoying person…
I TOO AM LOOKING FOR PERSON(S) WHO LIVE NEAR ME THAT ARE VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN. I LIVE IN SOUTH GEORGIA AND WORK IN ATLANTA. MY PROBLEM IS THAT NONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE THE SAME VIEWS AS I DO ABOUT ANIMALS. INCLUDING MY FAMILY. I FEEL ALONE SOMETIMES IN MY DECISON AND ALTHOUGH I STAND BY MY BELIEFS IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE WITH PEOPLE WHO FELT THE SAME. U COULD EXCHANGE INFO, RECIPES, CHECK OUT VEG RESTUARANTS, ETC..
I HAVE BEEN VEGETARIAN 2 YRS NOW AND AM TRYING TO MOVE TOWARDS A VEGAN LIFESTYLE. DISMISSING MEAT WAS EASY:) VEGAN IS QUITE A TRANSITION BUT I HOPE TO GET THERE EVENTUALLY.
I DOUBT U LIVE NEAR ME BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET U KNOW I FEEL THE SAME WAY AND ON A SEARCH AS WELL FOR ANIMAL FRIENDLY FOLKS!
Where are you?
I am in NYC and NH.
It’s hard being a vegan with all the ignorant, selfish people out there;
Has anyone noticed that you can give some people every fact there is, in disproving their preconceptions about veganism, yet they won’t even consider changing their attitudes. Some people are utterly closed-minded and incapable of thinking for themselves. Pathetic really.
