AIMS OF THE VEGETARIAN SOCIETY
OF IRELAND
Our
constitutional aims are to advance education, and to promote the
positive aspects of vegetarianism in relation to both health and
environmental issues. We also aim to create more awareness of the
organisation, and to inform the people of Ireland about vegetarianism.
We aim to co-operate with other organisations which promote the
fundamental ideals of vegetarianism. The VSI supports both vegetarian
and vegan aims.
DEFINITIONS
The Vegetarian Society of Ireland defines a
vegetarian as one who does
not consume meat, fish or fowl and who aims to avoid the use and
consumption of battery hen eggs and slaughterhouse by-products in food,
clothing, cosmetic and household products. Read

 Cue some music - "Who Are You" by The Who - and our VSI team, dressed in matching VSI t-shirts, could easily have imagined ourselves in a dramatic investigation of a major crime scene. Our crime scene was far bigger than anything that team of actors on the hit TV series CSI ever tackled! The crime scene in this case was an entire planet - quite an undertaking for a small team such as ours! The victim? Planet Earth and all it's life. More soon! |

With your time: The Vegetarian Society Of Ireland is a voluntary organisation. All our activities are organised by people in their spare time - when our day jobs are over. (And when the kids are put to bed for some of us!) If you have some time that you can spare and would like to work with other vegetarians to help the society then we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us: email volunteer@vegetarian.ie or phone 1890 328834. Financially: Are you interested in becoming a member or making a donation? |
