At lunch time you'd usually find us hanging around outside Nazar's snack bar waiting for our steak/ chicken/ donner/ sucuk wrap however for the month of November that will change (and Naz's profits will significantly reduce). 

After a bit of verbal jousting with a vegan colleague we agreed that if they brought a vegan cheesecake in then we would try and live their lifestyle for the whole of November. For the next month Alex will be going Vegan and Iain will be going vegetarian.

Having now eaten the cheesecake we think the major problems will be:

• People constantly waving burgers etc. in front of us and asking if we “miss meat”
• People thinking we’re constantly judging them for eating meat
• Not being able to eat work treats – Iain has agreed that he can’t have cakes/ chocolates despite vegetarians being allowed them
• Being lectured about how it can’t be good for us
• Never having a Naz wrap again because he will
  have shut down by the end of November!

For any of those choosing to mock us, you must donate first!

Any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated!

In his book Animal Liberation, Peter Singer states that the basic principle of equality does not require equal or identical treatment; it requires equal consideration. This is an important distinction when talking about animal rights. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation.

Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth—a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy—it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all nonhuman animals exist solely for human use.

While many would donate to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) we have opted to donate to National Animal Welfare Trust to help animals in the UK.

National Animal Welfare Trust is a Rescue and Rehoming charity; caring for and rehoming up to 1800 animals a year. We care for animals who find themselves homeless through no fault of their own, bring them back to good health, train them and finally find them a loving forever home. We never stop caring and are here as long as an animal needs us, offering continued support to everyone that rehomes a pet. Our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership throughout the UK so that one day every pet might have the responsible owner they deserve.
