News Mailing Lists

I created a list called Vegan News items but then found a list that already exists for this purpose: Planet-Vegan.  I'm going to go ahead and do vegan news, and try to limit it to about one post every other day.  Planet-Vegan is more active and includes discussion of the news.

• Vegan News
  • Description - Current events of interest to Vegans, who prefer that 'nothing is to die that I might live' -- nothing with eyes anyway.
