The Vegan Society is a registered charity and the oldest vegan society in the world, founded on 1 November 1944, in the UK by Donald Watson, Elsie "Sally" Shrigley, and 23 others.
Watson coined the word "vegan" to stand for "non-dairy vegetarians" who also ate no eggs. The founding of the Society is celebrated annually on World Vegan Day, which was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis the President and Chair.
The Society now defines veganism as "...a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose."


“Historically, man has expanded the reach of his ethical calculations,
as ignorance and want have receded, first beyond family and tribe,
later beyond religion, race, and nation. To bring other species
more fully into the range of these decisions may seem unthinkable
to moderate opinion now. One day, decades or centuries hence,
it may seem no more than ‘civilized’ behavior requires.”
