EXTENT OF RESPONDERS VEGANISM

These statistics indicated that there are a lot of people calling themselves vegan that really are not, at all times, adhering to the guidelines of The Vegan Society or the definition of the word vegan. It also indicated that there are a large number of vegans who still purchase meat/dairy for their companion animals, though they consider themselves to be vegan.

(Please note that responses from non-vegans were not used to determine how vegans feel about the various issues. Unless specified, non-vegans were not quoted within the survey results, either.)
