World Vegan Day Information For Kids

There are numerous activities you could perform to make your contribution in promoting vegetarian food and preventing animal cruelty and slaughter. You can pledge yourself as well as encourage others to turn veggie, organize stalls, functions to promote the philosophy or make the people aware of the benefits of vegetarianism. Some of the ways by which you could contribute your bit in protecting animals from cruelty are as given below:

• Organize a Pure Vegetarian Lunch / Dinner at your Workplace / Office
  Organizing a pure vegetarian lunch at your work place is the best way to make people aware of the benefits of veganism as well as it also provides an opportunity to discuss animal rights violations. Such events also make the participants aware of the health benefits of the vegetarian food and its varieties.
• Make the Pain of the Animals Felt
  The basic cause which the World Vegan Day seeks to promote is – ‘Prevent cruelty to animals’; apart from promoting the health benefits of turning vegetarian. The best way to promote the cause could be through movies based on cruelty to animals which make people feel the pain animals go through to satiate our desires. Go out with a bunch of your close friends and family to show them a movie based on Rights of Animals against Cruelty.
• Organize Lunch for your Non-Vegetarian Friends
  Let the non-vegetarian friends, colleagues or relatives of yours, know that how tasty and healthy vegetarian food could be. Serve them the best variety of vegetarian cuisine, to show them, that even vegetarian food can satisfy their taste buds as a non-vegetarian food; perhaps, in a healthy way.
• Take the Pledge
  Take the pledge to consume only vegetarian food; for a month at least if it’s difficult to give it over all at once. Also encourages anyone you know to take the pledge with you; anyone you think who has solidarity towards animals and is consciously or unconsciously aware of the cruelty they are subjected to.
• Donate Money or Time
  You can donate money to the organizations fighting for the Animal Rights or join hands with a solo animal rights activist you come across. If you don’t have money then contribute your time to the cause and get involved in various activities promoting vegetarianism and animal rights.
• Promote Vegetarian Cuisine
  On the day promote vegetarian cuisine in whatever way you can. Use your social media accounts to send recipes for delicious veg meals to your family and friends; ask them to spread the word further.
• Organize Performances
  Plays done by students and common people are the best way to reach out to the hearts of masses. Many historic revolutions have started by stage shows and road plays. Organize such plays in your locality, depicting cruelty to animals and the suffering they go through. A well enacted and a well organized play will definitely transform some of the ardent non-vegetarians into vegetarians.
• Feel the Pain
  Pain is the most potent factor which will definitely turn an ardent non-vegetarian into a pure vegetarian. Try to feel the pain that the animals have to go through to satiate our palatial and materialistic desires. If you can feel the pains of confinement, injury, boredom and butchery, that the animals are subjected to; you will definitely take the pledge to go veggie.
• Report Violations
  Report any of the animal right violations you come across; be it illegal smuggling of farm animals or an illegal butchering shop or even an individual selling animal meat or farm products illegally. Report the incidents to the concerned authorities and contribute in preventing cruelty to animals.
• Stop Leather Purchase
  Leather is the most extensively used material which is derived from the animal skin. Today leather is found in our shoes as well as in the cars and is widely used for its flexibility and durability. But behind every leather product that we adorn; there is an animal that had been subjected to tremendous pain and suffering. Killing an animal for a shiny bag or a beautiful watch strap doesn’t make sense and is also cruel. So, refrain from buying leather products and use alternatives like- faux leather, cork leather and ocean leather.
