Veganism and Animal Rights

Veganism is a lifestyle choice where individuals avoid consuming or using animal products—such as meat, dairy, eggs, leather, and wool—primarily to reduce harm to animals, promote health, or protect the environment. Animal rights advocate for recognizing animals as sentient beings with intrinsic value, deserving protection from exploitation and suffering. They argue that animals should not be used for human benefit, emphasizing ethical treatment and legal rights. Overall, veganism and animal rights share a concern for minimizing harm and respecting animals’ interests, encouraging more compassionate and sustainable ways of living.
