FAMOUS & NOTABLE NEW ZEALAND VEGANS
GLYNN OWENSClinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Auckland."Since turning vegan over 35 years ago Ive managed to obtain a doctorate from the University of Oxford, sustain a career thats seen me hold three different professorial appointments, compete at national and international level as a judo player and participate at a recreational level in something like 30 different sports ranging from multisports like decathlon and triathlon to marathon running. Im now nearly 60, still competing, and still the same weight as in my early 20s. As a pilot, Im able to obtain a class 1 medical certificate during my regular checkups. Being vegan hasnt disadvantaged me either intellectually or physically but what it has done has enabled me to feel OK about the creatures with whom we share the planet, and happy in the knowledge that they dont have to suffer so that I can indulge my appetites."

TOM BAILEY, INTERNATIONAL OBSERVER (EX THOMPSON TWINS)"Becoming a vegan brings so many benefits because not only do you stop supporting needless cruelty towards farmed animals, but also help their wild cousins by not accelerating the depletion of their environments caused by catastrophic farming practices. Add to this the proven benefits to health and well being for humans and you have great way to live. I thought at first that the transition might be difficult, but I've been suprised how easily I enjoyed it - not least the discovery of delicious new foods and the sense of joining others in making a contribution to a better future for all."

SAM TUCKER, NZ'S YOUNGEST DJ"The best thing about being vegan is knowing that your lifestyle doesnt contribute to the exploitation, suffering and death of countless non human animals.

DARCY PEACOCK, FORMER AUSA PRESIDENT"I was the first vegan president of the Auckland University Students Association. I was inspired to become vegan while doing my philosophy degree (majoring in ethics). Luckily I had the opportunity to move into a flat of vegans and I have never been happier. In my free time I do a radio show on 95bFM and bake cupcakes, but not at the same time."
