Veganism can also be about environmental impact. I’m vegetarian mostly because a meat based diet isn’t sustainable on a global scale. While I’m obviously happy about the reduced suffering, it’s importance is only in second place for me.
Tho maybe veganism is pretty much entirely for reducing animals suffering, I’m only a vegetarian and won’t pretend to know for sure.

It’s a widespread misunderstanding but adopting a plant based diet for some reason other than avoiding the exploitation of animals isn’t veganism. Praying five times a day isn’t Islam unless you’re praying to Allah.
