The San Francisco Veg Society - Veganism on the West Coast

The San Francisco Veg Society, which was founded in 1968 and celebrates its 52nd anniversary in 2020. “It’s very important that we get as many people on board with plant-based eating as we possibly can.” With a vision to help make San Francisco THE vegan capital of the West Coast, Christy shares some exciting changes currently taking place in the state of California, which will have an enormous life-saving impact on animals and humans alike. “This year we have had more legislation drafted and passed that protects animals than ever before in California’s history. A huge one that I was so excited about with AB44 that was the Fur Ban. California recently became the first state in the United States of America to ban fur, to ban the sales of new fur. California also recently became the first state to ban bobcat trapping. It’s a good way to kind of get your foot in the door, and start talking about the rights for all animals. Because at the end of the day what we really want to do is make everybody understand that every single being on earth has the right to live their own life.” Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Gratefully presents The San Francisco Veg Society with the Shining World Compassion Award plus US$15,000 loving contribution toward the noble work, with God’s immense love.”
