Kia Ora! Welcome!
This is the online home of the Dunedin/Ōtepoti Vegan Society (DŌVeS)
Although the international vegan movement has a long and proud history, since 2016 veganism has been very rapidly going fully mainstream, both in NZ and globally, with more and more people discovering the benefits of this increasingly popular, abundant, and joyful way of eating and living.
DOVeS is here to provide support and fellowship to new and transitioning vegans, as well as those who have been vegan for a while already. We also work to promote veganism in Ōtepoti/Dunedin and the surrounding area by providing information and education.
Respect for the lives of animals has never been higher. Yet at the same time, public awareness of their suffering continues to grow almost daily as new horrors emerge about the realities of the lives of animals exploited for food, clothing, entertainment, research, and other purposes.
Combine this with increasing awareness of the devastating impact of animal agriculture and the fishing industry on the environment, and the growing body of evidence that consuming animal products is unnecessary - even detrimental - to our health, and it's no wonder more and more people are adopting the powerful but simple lifestyle choice that is veganism.
Those who do are rewarded with improved health, vitality, and the empowering knowledge that they are no longer part of the problem, but part of the solution.
Join DOVeS and Get Involved
We are always keen to add new members to our Organising Team, and/or our Helpers & Supporters team. If you are interested in increasing your commitment to helping animals, people, and the environment, and you'd like to know more, then feel free to get in touch, and we can discuss how you might be able to contribute to the important and exciting work we do.
