Cherish and protect the animals!
Rule 1: No carnist apologia.
Rule 2: This community is prioritizing vegan users first.
Rule 3: Mark articles with animal products/abuse thumbnails as nsfw.
We're looking for vegan mods to avoid the busy at animal sanctuary factor.

Are they victims of a terrible era for hospitality or part of a growing shift in cultural values?Interesting question that I don’t think the article answered satisfactorily. It appears there are more vegans than ever in the UK, but the restaurants are closing. It should be simple to determine if this is just because LOTS of restaurants are closing (not just vegan), as is only hinted at in the article. But no real conclusions are drawn. Seems like someone taking a “vegan restaurants can’t survive” angle for clicks.
