The Vegan Song – Lyrics Below:

Lyrics:

I’m tired of seeing animals slaughtered
I want to change the way I live
Gonna become a vegan
Give all I can give
One man can really make a difference
Let that cow live

(Chorus)
So change your chicken to salad
Your bacon to rice
Just think twice…
About the animals you’re killing
The death on your plate
Give them another fate

It’s a healthy way of life
Leave your meat eating days behind
Burgers and chicken, beef and pork
Leave them alone
Put down your fork

(Chorus)
So change your chicken to salad
Your bacon to rice
Just think twice…
About the animals you’re killing
The death on your plate
Give them another fate

Give them…
Give them another fate…

Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products. Ethical vegans reject the commodity status of animals and the use of animal products for any purpose, while dietary vegans or strict vegetarians eliminate them from their diet only. Another form, environmental veganism, rejects the use of animal products on the premise that the industrial practice is environmentally damaging and unsustainable.

The term “vegan” was coined in England in 1944 by Donald Watson, co-founder of the British Vegan Society, to mean “non-dairy vegetarian”; the society also opposed the use of eggs as food. In 1951, the society clarified the definition of “veganism” to mean “the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals,” and in 1960 H. Jay Dinshah started the American Vegan Society, linking veganism to the Jain concept of ahimsa, the avoidance of violence against living things.

It is a growing movement. The number of vegan restaurants is increasing, and some of the top athletes in certain endurance sports—for instance, the Ironman triathlon and the Ultramarathon—practise veganism or raw veganism. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada regard a well-planned vegan diet as appropriate for all stages of the life-cycle. Well-planned vegan diets have been found to offer protection against many degenerative conditions, including heart disease, though if poorly planned a vegan diet may be deficient in some vitamins and minerals. Vegans should therefore make sure they have adequate sources of vitamin B12, iron, vitamin D, calcium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Thanks!
BTW: I’ve been a vegetarian for about 9 years, i want to transition to vegan

"The word ‘veganism’ denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to end the idea of animals as property and exclude all forms of intentional exploitation of, use of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, research or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, including people and the environment.
In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
