AboutWhat. This journal is intended to be a supportive community for vegans and those who wish to become vegan. As the community progresses we hope to make an informative, comprehensive journal as well as encourage discussions on veganism and animal rights. We support the fight for animal liberation and abolishing all forms of animal exploitation through protests, boycotts, civil disobedience and non-violent direct action (taking into account that you cannot inflict acts of violence against property and other material items).
Who. We welcome all types of vegans: animal-rights oriented, health-oriented, etc. NO bitching or bragging along the lines of 'punker than fuck' or 'more Vegan than thou'. Snobbery and elitism won't be tolerated, since they aren't helpful anyway. On this note, the honey debate has been closed, as it causes way too much drama. A good article on honey and veganism can be found here.
Rules. By participating in the community and becoming a member, you are agreeing to abide by the community rules. Please be sure you read them before joining.
1. The lj-cut Tag: When posting any graphic or disturbing pictures or text, use the LJ-cut tag, and please put a warning of sensitive material in the lj-cut text. Please realize some users upset easily, or are eating when surfing our journal, and vomit is really hard to get out of keyboards. Anyone who does not use an lj-cut tag for disturbing posts will first be warned, and if an appropriate amount of time has passed and the post has not been edited it will be deleted. Posters that continue to ignore this rule and post graphic pictures and text without cutting even after Mod intervention will be banned.
2. Trolling: Blatant trolling (or making remarks only to shame vegans or veganism) will be cause for immediate deletion and banning upon Mod Discretion, with no warning.
3. Debating: Debating is more than welcome, as long as there are no personal insults (see "troling" above), graphic text or pictures are used, and the debate is kept civil. Anyone verbally attacking any member of this community will be warned, then banned.
4. Community Promotion: Take your community promotion tocommunity_promo; that sort of thing isn't welcome here and will be deleted without warning.
5. Before You Post: Make use of all the tools and resources in our handy side bar before you post.
6. Recipes: The best place to post your recipes is
7. Honey and Vegan Cat debates are no longer allowed in the community as they are divisive, redundant, and non-constructive. (These topics are welcome in other debate-specific communities, and possibly other vegan communities as well.) If you have questions about this policy, email a moderator.

Do we, as humans, having an ability to reason and to communicate abstract ideas verbally and in writing, and to form ethical and moral judgments using the accumulated knowledge of the ages, have the right to take the lives of other sentient organisms, particularly when we are not forced to do so by hunger or dietary need, but rather do so for the somewhat frivolous reason that we like the taste of meat? In essence, should we know better?
