Lovers of animals and of life itself work together to promote animal welfare, make vegan and vegetarian diets as American as apple pie, and encode animal rights into animal law (as Chicago did with the ban on foie gras). The goal is for animals to be recognized as living beings that have inalienable rights to live a natural life free of harm by the hands of humans. A step towards that goal is to stem the tide of suffering by educating the public.

      I am an animal lover and a vegan. I have always felt strongly about animal rights but don't know many people that share my views. I want to meet others that share my values and do my part to support the rights of animals.

      I have been a vegan for about 1 year and it is my passion. I am going to graduate school to get my MPH and become a RD @ Benedictine University in Lisle, IL. I am looking to promote veganism and meet new people.
