If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.

Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.
You cannot live a nonviolent life as long as you are consuming violence. Please consider going vegan.
