Could be a good idea to put the definition in the community description. Rule 1 already implies that this is about the ethical aspect and not just plantbased diet, but this would be more clear I guess.

This is a great definition. One term I'd really like to see in there tho is commodification... that we are opposed to the buying and selling of animals bodies or derived products, turning them into objects for human use.

It is not a great definition in my opinion. The sentence "as far as is possible and practicable" is too vague. It makes people claim that when it is merely very inconvenient to get a vegan meal, it is vegan to eat something with animal products.

In my opinion veganism should be the extention of human rights to animals. That would mean that even killing a pig for a heart valve to safe a human would not be vegan. After all, we wouldn't even kill one human to safe multiple others in a similar scenario because that would violate the rights of the to be killed individual. You could argue that it is better to safe more lives, sure. But it wouldn't be the 'pro-human rights' thing to do.

I believe that is more in line with the philosophy the vegan society was founded to promote than their own current definition.

Yep, that's it. Vegan society also got it right. Wikipedia is, to this day, isn't great. I see many people misunderstanding, maybe on purpose, the nuance (as far as possible) because of poorly put definitions.

Nice
