Is veganism a religion?
2. The attribution of a deity to animals.
5. Thou shall adopt, rescue and rehabilitate stray animals.
6. Thou shall recycle, reduce, reuse, refurbish, return, revitalize natural resources.
7. Thou shall fight for animal and human rights in the face of adversity.
8. Thou shall peacefully convert as many people as you can to a healthier lifestyle.
9. Thou shall speak up when vegans are portrayed in a negative light.
10. Thou should meditate, work out, cook, sleep well and thank Mother Nature every day.
Just like the other commandments, some are missing but you know what they are.
Have a terrific weekend... =)
