About This Site

Those Crazy Vegans. They choose to live a life without consuming or exploiting animals including food, clothing, personal care and more. That means no meat, dairy, eggs, or honey, no leather, fur, down (feathers), silk, or even zoos, circuses, rodeos or testing on animals.

Wow! Why would people do this? Who would they be so crazy? How could anyone possibly survive without bacon? And where do they get their protein from? "Vegan" is the adopted term for people who view nonhuman animals as sentient beings rather than as property and food. Veganism was coined by Donald Watson in the first ever vegan news letter "The Vegan News" from November 1944. Learn more about the history of veganism here.

Why are they trying to compel you to give up double cheeseburgers and ice cream? Are these people crazy? Or is there possibly more to it?

"Those Crazy Vegans" is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive resource based on the wild idea of refraining from consuming or dominating animals. This site is not designed to try to make anyone "go vegan" (well, perhaps just you and your entire sphere of influence), but rather to provide a "one-stop-shop" packed with all the information we could muster up related to this "alternative" lifestyle for entertainment and educational purposes.

Whether you have already decided to take the valiant step in your life to extend compassion to all beings, or you are "Pre-Vegan" (i.e., you haven't made the change yet, but like everyone else, you eventually will), we hope that you will find something of value here.

If you've made it this far, you're already on your way to discovering a vast world of information, humor, and maybe even the coolest future t-shirt in your wardrobe.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for joining us, and for lending some of your precious time towards learning about improving our world by reducing the unnecessary harm being perpetrated against beautiful and innocent animals.

Feel free to search, research, join our forum, or contact us anytime. We hope you enjoy and participate in any way you can.

Much Love,
Those Crazy Vegans
