I am of a rare species – a vegan Tory. I am rather isolated in this camp. In fact, I can’t think of a single other vegan Tory that I know. I am often asked the question: how can you possibly be a Tory if you’re vegan? It is not the case that I’m vegan in spite of the fact I’m a Tory – the two qualities are compatible. The right is in fact better for the vegan and environmentalist cause, and they should change their approach if they really want to save the animals and the planet. So why is it that we find the vegans and environmentalists on the left? Why are they in the wrong place?
