About Me

Vegan for life, health, the planet and the animals!!!
My name's Laura. I love animals and the non-human animals I share my life with include a rat, a dog and two horses all of which I love spending time with. Plus there are a few human-animals I like too! Being vegan means that I avoid all animal products, meat, dairy, leather, silk, etc. This is because I can, and why cause suffering if you can live another way? It's so easy to live an ethical lifestyle and it's very healthy too.
I also love music, playing (but not too well!) and listening. I'm in a band at the moment called chainsaw daisies, it's an all girl band and we play grunge/pop/punk music. It's good fun and we have just recorded some songs so listen to them on our profile! I like going to see live bands even when the music isn't particularly what I listen to at home. I just love the energy that some bands put in. Especially the punk gigs Paul takes me to where the bands sing about stuff they actually mean and believe in.
I like doing exercise especially outdoors, walking, running and cycling are my favourites. I have also joined Vegan Runners Athletics Club and I am wearing the vest with pride when I run races now.
I have completed my PhD in biomedical engineering Hurray!!! I like my work and I enjoy it so I think I am pretty lucky. Plus the more papers I read involving animal experiments the more flaws I find. I don't use any animals, animal parts/fluids etc in my work, it's unreliable and pointless in terms of valid results. And now I have my PhD I can say that and follow it with "Trust me, I'm a Doctor" Mua ha ha ha!!!!

Don't know what a militant vegan is but apparently I am one! Try the veggie test.
You scored as militant vegan. You are a militant vegan! Happy? Surprised? A vegan is someone who avoids consuming/using all animal products, including flesh, dairy, eggs, honey, leather, and so forth. Some avoid products tested on animals. Being a militant vegan means you have more radical views than most vegetarians, namely animal rights. You may be an activist already or on the verge. You are confident and unwavering about your ethics. Not a vegan? Perhaps you're one waiting to happen! Check it out at www.goveg.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting other veggies and vegans and I have done so by going to our local veggie group BVV (they have a website). I like meeting people who like animals and taking care of them and who don't like eating, buying or using them for their own purposes. I like meeting people who are into music, whatever kind as long as they love it that's cool. I don't like rascist, sexist, speciesist or just ignorant or abusive people either. I have already met my soulmate so hot vegan men need not apply as position is filled ;)
