Introduction

The Why Veg booklet is an edited version of an original booklet produced by Vegan Outreach in the US, their initial work is very gratefully acknowledged and has been edited with permission.

This 2008 revision and referenced text by The Vegetarian/Vegan Society of Queensland, a member society of Animals Australia.

Please feel free to use references and text to spread the message about the benefits of veganism. VVSQ would be delighted to hear how you are using this work.

Some quotes from famous people are taken directly from the original Vegan Outreach booklet, which is why they haven’t been referenced here. Similarly, many photos are from the original booklet and were not taken in Australia, however considerable care has been taken to ensure each photo in the booklet is representative of the kinds of conditions Australian animals live under. Cynthia Burnett of Animal Liberation Queensland is gratefully acknowledged for her work in this regard.

A large collection of Australian photos showing usual conditions on factory farms can be found at Animal Liberation Victoria’s website.
