Veganism is the Future—Join it Now!
Last year has brought positive changes in the public perception of veganism, and it became mainstream. The number of vegans in the world is record-high, vegan food options can be found at any corner, and the consumers are more conscious of what they support with their money and what they’re putting on their plates. The future is inevitably vegan, so we invite everyone to join the movement and
pledge to go vegan in 2019!

Stop the Use of Pyrotechnics!
During yet another holiday season, we asked everyone not to use pyrotechnics in their New Year’s Day celebration, because the loud noises of firecrackers and fireworks put both domestic and wild animals under major stress, fear, and can even cause death from the shock. We pointed out that pyrotechnic devices are dangerous to humans as well, especially children who often end up with hand or eye injuries, so we asked for their ban during the whole year. We pointed out to the illogical part of the law which allows the use of pyrotechnics between December 27th and December 30th, when nothing is celebrated in Croatia. We also invited everyone to sign the petition for the ban of pyrotechnics.
Compassionate Holidays
We invited everyone to spend their holidays compassionately with
vegan dishes on their tables, and we shared numerous recipes and advice on how to veganize traditional dishes or replace eggs and milk in their baking. We asked vegans to share their knowledge and thoughts on importance of veganism with their families and loved ones, to give cruelty-free presents and to enjoy the holidays peacefully.
