Veganism is based on the universal principle of compassion. Donald Watson, who coined the term vegan in 1944 from the English word vegetarian (vegetarian in French) defines it as “the logical extension of vegetarianism,” and he says:

“The Veganism is a philosophy and a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as practicable, all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals, whether for food, clothing, or any other purpose; and by extension, veganism supports and encourages the development and implementation of alternative work without the use of animals for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment”.

Being vegan is an ethical choice, and a daily practice in which the respect for life, based on non-violence, peace and compassion for all sensitive beings are set in real motion.
