VeganGoods.com was started by me, Christi, a couple of years back after the creation of A Different Daisy. Visit A Different Daisy for vegan information and to learn more about my animal rescue work. Vegan Goods is an extension of that site, the shopping cart. I started selling products online in
1998, seeing a need for cruelty-free alternatives.
My goal is to make vegan, cruelty-free shopping affordable and easy for everyone. That's why I've chosen to keep this business small, with little overhead, to bring you great prices. You may not get your order as fast from me as you would from larger companies, but I hope to provide the best prices and customer service around!
I want to promote a
cruelty-free lifestyle, if you can't get it from me, contact me and I will do my best to point you
to a source where you can find it.
By purchasing
products at VeganGoods.com you help animals in several ways.
First, you should know that I do all that I can to help animals and the environment, by giving to animal causes and environmental organizations. I never turn down an animal in need. As soon as I find an injured, abandoned or neglected animal, I take action. Every animal I take in visits a veterinarian. I keep them or find a suitable home, and by suitable I mean superb! It is rare for me to have fewer than 20 animals in my care at a time. I am actively
involved in animal rescue and taking stray animals into my home. Each purchase you make at VeganGoods.com allows me to continue these efforts. At present, I care for 20 cats and 4 dogs, each homeless at one time but now living out their days with plenty of food, care, and love. You can allocate a portion of your sale to animal rights, animal rescue and environmental groups. Please contact me to see if your favorite
organization is an affiliate.
My
Journey to Veganism
When I was a young girl, I spent the majority of my time with animals. They were my closest friends. I grew up with so many 'pets' and had such a love for them. It wasn't until I graduated high school that I realized exactly what had to happen in order for meat to become dinner. I guess I knew what happened, but it never actually struck me. It was a huge awakening for me when I realized that I didn't have to eat meat and that I didn't have to eat dairy or eggs. Not long
after that, I discovered the horrors of animal testing and
factory farming. I was disgusted with myself! Why hadn't I
realized this sooner? Now, I live my life as cruelty-free as possible and do my best to promote kindness. I am much happier and healthier because of this lifestyle change.
