Veganism is a broad church and, on your journey, you will meet various touch points. This interactive workshop will help you work out what motivates you; what can you give and what change do you want to make and see? In law, animals are mere chattel and animal welfare does not evade death. In our empowerment, how can we overcome traumatic human indoctrinations like “survival of the fittest”, “dog eat dog” and what can you do to reshape law allowing animals (and humans) to be seen and giving animals their due rights?
