Pythagoras is famous among mathematicians and high school students for his triangle-explaining theorem. Vegetarians know him, however, as an outspoken advocate of animal rights in ancient Greece. According to Ovid, Pythagoras believed that 'animals share with us the privilege of having a soul', and also: 'For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.'
Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and featuring music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby, EARTHLINGS is a documentary film about humankind's complete economic dependence on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research.

List of famous vegans - see website below
Veganism extends from observing a vegan diet — a diet that includes no animals or animal products of any kind — to an entire lifestyle that precludes animal products from all aspects of life. Besides food, vegans may also choose to avoid clothes that utilise products such as leather, fur, wool and silk, cosmetics that have been tested on animals, and blood sports such as bullfighting and fox hunting.
People who adopt veganism for ethical reasons will often avoid or boycott all products or activities where their production or undertaking is perceived to exploit animals. All the people on this list are understood to adhere to a vegan diet, although their veganism may extend beyond just a dietary commitment.
