The other responses are all about killing animals. The main reason for me is that it's better for the environment. Modern meat/dairy consumption is unsustainable if we want to avoid dangerous climate change, catastrophic ecosystem loss, etc.
So I'm not a "proper" vegan by some people's definitions. e.g. I don't care about getting "consent" from bees - I would rather eat honey than agave syrup flown over from Mexico, etc.
(Veganism is not enough to stop climate change, but meh) (Also I'm being flippant about bees; it's a complicated topic)
I'm intrigued, but what are your reasons for a vegan lifestyle?
