Poetry to save the animals

The approach of veganism towards literature welcomes more people every day, in the case of poetry, it is now possible to find an online site where several works related to this genre can be found.

This is Literary Veganism (Literary Veganism: An Online Journal (litvegan.net)), which is a web page where works written by vegan authors are shared. The idea is that what is exposed can convey to readers the true essence of vegan philosophy through words.

This is the main objective in their own words: “To publish high-quality prose, fiction, and poetry on this site that is in line with our basic principles and mission.”

The way in which they operate is through the sharing of works by writers who voluntarily donate their art so that everyone who enters this website can read it. It is necessary to go through a filter, since it is important that those who share texts on this platform are very clear about their ideals regarding animal liberation.
