Vegan Peace
Vegan Peace is about striving towards peacefully sharing our
Earth.
This website hopes to play a small role in inspiring
people to strive towards a more peaceful world. We can all play a part
in lessening the suffering so many people and animals go through every
day. The problems are big, but that shouldn't discourage us. Every
positive change to someone's life, however small, is a step in the right
direction. We should never allow ourselves to become either desensitized
or to dismiss suffering which is often not in our view. We should never
feel that trying to make the world a better place is beyond our reach. |

Vegan Peace believes that we all have a right to a
decent life. No one should have to go through a life of suffering and no
one should have to die before their time. We should all be allowed to
make our own choices in life as long as they don't cause suffering to
anyone else. All that is needed to reach this wonderful goal is just a
little bit of caring. As we get lost in complex discussions about laws, rights,
Bible passages and hierarchy, we often forget the simple notion of caring. |
About Me
Vegan Peace is run by me, Wanda Embar. I was born and
raised in the Netherlands, have lived several years in France and
currently live in Wisconsin, U.S.A. I became vegan in 1990 after reading
about the suffering dairy cows go through in order to produce milk for
human beings to drink. Veganism means a lot to me, because it is about
limiting the suffering we ourselves cause to animals. It is something we
have a lot of control over.

I've also gotten
more involved in issues like sweatshops. It was very shocking to me to
find out how badly we treat our fellow humans in order to produce
products as cheaply as possible. You can read more about sweatshops on
my Sweatshops and Child Labor pages. Other issues close to my
heart and covered on this website are
gun control,
parenting and
organic
agriculture. |
