Can you tell me what the major beliefs held by vegans are?

Veganism is a philosophy and a lifestyle that encompasses the abstention from eating or using any animal-derived products or products obtained by exploitation of animals, such as dairy products, eggs, honey, leather, or silk. Vegans believe that non-human animals have interests, sentience, and rights, and reject the commodification of animals as a basis for human interaction. Vegan ethics generally oppose eating or using animals for food, clothing, entertainment, or any other purpose.
