On 1 November every year, vegans all over the world celebrate their way of life. Vegans try to live in a way that avoids exploiting and being cruel to animals. They do not eat animals or animal-based products like meat, fish, seafood, eggs, honey and dairy products such as cheese. For many vegans, living a vegan lifestyle means not wearing clothes made from animal skins and avoiding any products which have been tested on animals.
For many people, the main reason for going vegan is probably that they believe that animals should have the right to life and freedom. However, there are other reasons. Vegans argue that the production of meat and other animal products is very bad for the environment. They point out that the enormous amount of grain which the meat industry needs often leads to forests being cut down and habitats being lost.
