Info slide: The vegan lifestyle refers to a lifestyle which seeks to reduce harm and suffering to animals as much as possible or practical. Measures taken commonly include refraining from consumption of animal-based foods (e.g. dairy, eggs, meats, fish), refraining from the purchase of products made with animal-based materials (leather, wool, etc.), or boycotting companies, practices, and events known for abusive practices towards animals (e.g. Calgary stampede, zoos, Seaworld, Danone, etc.)
Reduction-based lifestyles involve strategies of reducing but not eliminating animal product consumption, such as vegetarianism, part-time veganism, meatless Mondays, flexitarianism, and supporting ethical brands.
