The Jo Cox Foundation has come to the defence of Jess Phillips over the Elon Musk furore. But why was the foundation silent when Labour MP Rosie Duffield received death threats? Could it be her gender critical views?

Vegan Buddies Programme Fully Operartional

category international | animal rights | press release author Friday April 27, 2012 10:29author by Caddy - Animal Rights Zoneauthor email VeganBuddies at ARZone dot net Report this post to the editors

ARZone's vegan mentoring is now fully available for new and aspiring vegans to use.

Animal Rights Zone (ARZone), the global campaigning, activities, and social network for animal advocates, announces the third phase of their ongoing Vegan Buddies Programme.

Vegan Buddies at "Phase Three."

With a new video http://arzone.ning.com/video/new-to-veganism-then-this-...ies-2
[direct YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=...ohAoE] this phase of ARZone’s Vegan Buddies programme makes the facility publicly available to people who are new to veganism or who are thinking of or interested in living vegan.

“Vegan Buddies” is a worldwide vegan mentoring scheme designed to offer support and encouragement to new and aspiring vegans. Knowledgeable ARZone Vegan Buddy Mentors are standing by to talk with new and inexperienced vegans,” said Carolyn Bailey, ARZone founder.

ARZone is excited to spread the word of this initiative to new and potential vegans who will be able to interact with their vegan mentors via ARZone in a number of ways using the website’s features. For example, they can speak to the mentors as a group or to individual mentors, via the VB discussion forum, or by posting in the ARZone real-time chat room. ARZone also hosts videos related to veganism and animal rights, as well as the transcripts to more than 80 interviews ARZone has conducted with prominent members of the vegan and advocacy communities worldwide.

“I’m delighted that ARZone’s Vegan Buddies programme is now in place and up and running. Vegan Buddies is a great facility which will be a major benefit to new vegans at a time when the number of vegans appears to be rising in several countries,” said Carolyn Bailey.

“Whether new and aspiring vegans want one-to-one support, recipes, ideas about clothing and vegan household goods, to explore the philosophy of veganism, or talk to the general Vegan Buddies community, our new programme can provide it. Although the percentage of vegans is growing in many populations around the world, new vegans may not know any other vegans yet. ARZone’s Vegan Buddies programme can help them find friendly support in their first weeks and months of veganism,” she added.

More details or to arrange media interviews with ARZone founder and Vegan Buddies Co-ordinator Carolyn Bailey (Australia) +61 (0)467 328380, or Vegan Buddies Co-ordinator Dr. Roger Yates, please write to VeganBuddies@ARZone.net or phone (Ireland) +353 (0)86 100 6763.

ARZone was founded in 2009 by Carolyn Bailey and now has more than 2600 members.

Great job. This is needed.

This is a great initiative for people who are new to veganism. Most people do not have any knowledge about what a vegan diet entails - not realising that vegans actually eat a wide variety and that there is a huge amount of choice. Having a mentor to advise you as you explore the new and exciting world of veganism is an excellent idea! ♥

This is a great idea. I wish something like this had been in existence when I first became vegan. I'm confident that this facility will be of help in welcoming new and aspiring vegans to the only compassionate option for living amongst other animals, and that people will find that it is not only a reasonably easy way to live, but very enjoyable too.

This is a fantastic idea and I have joined up, I'm really looking forward to having a mentor I've been vegan for the last 2 years and I think that having a mentor at the start would have eased the transition so much. I take my hat off to ARzone big well done to them. It may even give me the confidence to become a mentor in the future. I still have so much to learn though.
