<div class="mhl"><div class="mvm uiP fsm"><span class="fwb">Mission:</span></div>
To publicize the exploitation of farmed animals, promote animal liberation, explain and encourage the practice of the vegan lifestyle, and organize vegan social events.</div>

<div class="mvm uiP fsm"><span class="fwb">Description:</span></div>
<p>We are an advocacy and social group based in Clovis, CA. Everyone is welcome, regardless of dietary and other lifestyle choices, but members should be interested in the ideal of animal liberation or the practice of a vegan lifestyle. <br/> <br/> Animal liberation is a state of affairs in which all non-human animals are wild and living freely. Veganism is a way of life that rejects the exploitation of other <span class="text_exposed_show">animals. More specifically, vegans abstain from all goods produced by exploiting or intentionally harming sentient animals. Those goods include meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, butter, eggs, wool, and leather.<br/> <br/> We believe that all sentient animals should be respected and that we best respect other animals by allowing them to live freely and on their own terms. Those domesticated species that cannot survive in the wild should still be respected and cared for without exploitation.</span></p> Hi Billy,

<p>I am no longer in the Kansas City area. I am now in Florida, but I still wanted to share this with you. This group meets monthly to eat at vegan/veg restaurants or where there is a vegan/veg section of the menu and they have a lot on their site. I know it isn't 100% vegan, but it is a start for someone in the area to get into a vegan network. <a href="http://www.vegkansascity.com/">http://www.vegkansascity.com/</a></p>

<p>I hope this helps.</p>
