What is a Vegan?

Vegans (pronounced VEE-guns) are people who wish to alleviate the suffering of animals by not consuming or purchasing products which contribute to that suffering.  By not buying meat, eggs, dairy, leather, and other products made by or from animals, vegans are "making a statement against cruelty to animals, undertaking an economic boycott, supporting the production of non-animal products, and supporting more sustainable agricultural practices. These decisions, and the message they send to others, help make society more humane."  (Vegan Outreach, "On Being Vegan"

Though there are many health benefits that come from being vegan, long-term vegans stay vegan because of their compassion for animals.
