The Moldavian Vegetarian Union is a non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to fostering and encouraging vegan lifestyle in Moldova through social and educational activities. Our society was formed by concerned and dedicated vegans who have the goal of restoring the dignity of every living creature by eliminating the cruel treatments of animals and at the same time evolve a healthy and peaceful environment where all forms of life would live happily together.
A vegan lives on a plant-based diet, free of all animal flesh - meat, fish or fowl of any kind. Vegans exclude all animal products from their diets.

A vegan is someone who avoids using or consuming animal products. While vegetarians avoid flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy and eggs, as well as fur, leather, wool, down, and cosmetics or chemical products tested on animals. Veganism, the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an integral component of a cruelty-free lifestyle.

Living vegan provides numerous benefits to animals' lives, to the environment, and to our own health-through a healthy diet and lifestyle. Despite the common belief that drinking milk or eating eggs does not kill animals, commercially-raised dairy cows and egg-laying chickens, whether factory-farmed or 'free range,' are slaughtered when their production rates decline. Animal agriculture takes a devastating toll on the earth. It is an inefficient way of producing food, since feed for farm animals requires land, water, fertilizer, and other resources that could otherwise have been used directly for producing human food. The consumption of animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon and lung cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension, obesity, and a number of other debilitating conditions. Cows' milk contains ideal amounts of fat and protein for young calves, but far too much for humans

Our organization recognizes that our members are vegans or interested in veganism for a variety of reasons - including personal health, compassion to animals, concern for the environment, respect for peace and non-violence, concern about world hunger and religious beliefs - and that not all members share all of them. Join us in achieving these and add your efforts to ours in trying to achieve our set goals and objectives. Please contact us with the above E-mail for membership and events information. Events information will soon be published on the web.
