However, may I refer you to an article on one of my favorite groups, Vegan Outreach, website? They have a lot of stuff that fits my perspective on being vegan, and so thought I'd send this out in case it is helpful to y'all: Living in a Non Vegan World http://www.veganoutreach.org/articles/nonveganworld.html A snippet: " It is hard to find a job that does not have some connection to animal exploitation. The animal rights movement cannot provide jobs for everyone who wants to use their careers to help animals. And many other careers might require the use of some animal products. So, how can one live up to their vegan ideals and still take part in society by having a job? I would suggest that by pursuing careers in certain fields where animal products are used, we can actually help animals in the end. " I would invite/encourage you to come to one of our upcoming events. Perhaps you'd especially enjoy connecting with the local veg community!
