I don't want to poo on anyone's party but how many on VF have asked themselves whether or not, that whiskery old geezer aka Father Christmas, is a vegan?
My money says that he's
NOT for the following reasons:
i) His boots
must be made of leather. I know they
could be faux-leather from Vegetarian Shoes, Freerangers or MooShoes but he seems to have been wearing the same pair since long before these companies existed.
ii) He uses animals to transport his sleigh. Perhaps these are rescued reindeer but it doesn't alter the fact that he is using animals.
iii) Some families leave out milk and non-vegan mince pies which being consumed by Father Christmas, must mean that he cannot be vegan.
As for contributing to global warming by hurtling round the earth at thousands of miles per hour, it doesn't bear thinking about.
Anyway, I've said my piece, so I hope that all VF members with young children will send Santa packing this year, only to return if and when he goes vegan.
As for me, on Christmas Eve, I'll be sat in front of the tv, chewing humbug and watching a DVD of It's a Wonderful Life!
Seasons greetings to all!
