Someone who cares about the suffering of sentient creatures, and therefore does not consume eggs, milk, or meat, as well as abstaining from wearing animals or using products tested on them.

Meat-eaters are harmful to the environment, not vegans. They are the main cause of world hunger by wasting land to feed overbred cows who will become tortured and killed. Meat is an inefficient resource, and also requires a lot of oil in production. Don't say veganism is bad for the environment.

God warned against animal cruelty, and preched compassion. Many references made to meat were metaphoric or not referring to flesh. Most scholars believe Jesus didn't even eat fish, so don't use the pseudo-Christian argument either.

Finally, b12 and protein can be obtained from plants. Beans, nuts, and seeds are rich in protein, and many other plant based foods contain it as well. Seaweed, yeast, and raw organic foods have b12, and it also can be grown as a bacteria.

Debeaking, beating, tail-docking, ear-clipping, confinement, etc. aren't humane. There's no excuse for not being vegan.

The arguments against veganism are very ignorant.

The word vegan means compassion.
Woah, that person cares about the world, she must be a vegan.

A person who realizes that eating animal products and by products is not ok.Knows that everyone isnt vegan and accepts that.This person usually also realizes that billions of rabbits,mice,insects, and other animals are killed in grain processing,and resents that,but does not understand how people who eat grains AND animal products can say this because these things are equally cruel.Has less percentage of getting various cancers than meat eaters and vegetarians.Contrary to popular belief, actually cares about other people and their ideas because everyone has the right to express their feelings for or against veganism.
Dude: Hey want this well done steak?

Vegan: Nah, I'm vegan.

Dude: Wow, how do you survive? I mean doesnt milk have protein and stuff?

Vegan: Yup, but soy milk has the same amount and less fat and I can take supplements if I feel like I'm not getting my vitamins.

Dude:Oh ok, I've never had anyone explain it to me that way, I guess vegans arent that bad after all.

Vegan:Aww thanks, can you pass the peas?

A word that seems like it should rhyme with pagan, even though it does not. For instance, you never hear of a vee-ge-ta-ri-an or a vee-ge-ta-ble, yet it's vee-gan.
My friend Megan is a vegan pagan, flashin' mo' bling than Menachem Begin.

A person who can't stand the fact that people eat meat(ignoring the fact that we've been eating meat since the begining of time!)these people are usualy self rightouse son's of bitche's, who will refuse too eat,wear,use any animal products.

They eat lots of grain, and in order to get this grain they must plow it, and in the process of plowing they kill hundreds of feild mice, rabbits, and other poor defenceless creatures all for grain, but when a cow is killed GOD help us all! A cow has been killed for the sake of feeding family's!!(oh snap! the agony!) Yep a quick painless death, and then they eat the meat too(the non vegans that is)...how dreadfull. But dont worry about the feild mice, Getiing plow'ed is a fun death.
vegan-"I'm a vegan, I dont eat meat"
person-"I havn't had a bannana in a month...."

Most of the time a hypocrite that thinks they are better than everyone else because of the fact that they are vegan.
I don't eat meat or any animal product, but I'll wear clothes from the gap because I don't care about human rights at all. really I am just being a vegan for the whole scene it represents, not really because I care about animals.

A current cultural phenomenon.

Being a vegan is popular trend among the youth of today. These teens and young adults claim to not eat or use any animal products. What most of these trend following kids fail to realize is that many things they don't even know about contain animal products.

Many vegans like to hang out together and go get tattooed and pierced while listening to "hardcore" music and being "straight edge".

Most tattoo inks contain animal by-products.

Vegans will fade out as the next trend becomes popular.
There will be a great surge in the tattoo removal business.
Everyone I know is a vegan, so I became one too!

Awwwwww, we saved those cute cows! Ooooh, look at that leather jacket!
