Veganism should be noted that as a concept born in 1944 when Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson created the word vegan, then found the first vegan society in the world, the Vegan Society. For Watson, who was born into a family of carnivorous, "veganism is a philosophy of life that excludes all forms of exploitation and cruelty to the animal kingdom and includes a reverence for life. In practice it is on a diet pure vegetarian and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived from animals partially or completely. "

The aim behind the action of Watson was distinguished from the vegetarian, which, according to them, should be called "ovo-lacto-vegetarian"due to their consumption of eggs and milk and also a vegetarian diet does not mean the implement a real love for our younger siblings and may be followed by other reasons. Watson says his transition to veganism: "One of my earliest memories is the vacation on the farm of my Uncle George where he lived surrounded by interesting animals. All of them"gave "something: the horse farm pulled the plow, the smaller horse pulling the cart, cows "gave" milk, hens 'gave'eggs and the rooster was a "wake up" very useful, I did not realize then that he also had another function.

The sheep "gave" wool. I could never understand what "gave" the pigs but they seemed so friendly creatures ... always happy to see me. Then came the day a pig was killed, yet I have vivid memories of the whole process, including the screams. Of course ... I decided that the farm-and uncles-had to be reassessed: the idyllic scene was nothing but death chain, where the days were numbered for each creature in the time when they ceased being useful for human beings. ", indicates the movement's founder, who died at the age of 95 at home.

In short, we invite you to enjoy an evening of eating healthy, nutritious and friendly animals and the environment from 18 hrs Rancagua.Los Center animals will thank you.
