The Caribbean Vegan Conference, a groundbreaking event held on October 25, 2025, at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, united legal experts, environmental activists, and plant-based advocates from across the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe. Co-hosted by the Caribbean Vegetarian-Vegan Charity (CVVC) and the British Vegan Society, the conference spotlighted the intersection of animal rights, environmental sustainability, and dietary choices. Chief Justice Leslie Francis Haynes, a keynote speaker, framed animal rights as “the new legal frontier,” challenging attendees to rethink societal norms regarding animal treatment. He questioned, “If a being can feel, express, and emote, does it not deserve legal rights?” Haynes also critiqued societal conditioning that distances children from the origins of their food, stating, “We desensitize them by renaming pigs as pork and cows as beef, obscuring the reality of consumption.” Lalu Hanuman, a CVVC trustee, emphasized veganism as “the diet of the future,” citing Albert Einstein’s belief in the transformative power of plant-based diets for human health and survival. Hanuman highlighted the meat industry’s devastating environmental impact, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and antibiotic overuse, which contributes to antimicrobial resistance. He criticized selective animal welfare advocacy, noting, “Animal welfarists often champion only ‘cuddly’ animals while consuming meat and fish without hesitation.” Cheryl Haynes, CVVC co-trustee, celebrated the nutritional potential of Caribbean herbs and plants, urging attendees to embrace the region’s natural bounty. The conference concluded with an inspiring video of the late Benjamin Zephaniah, leaving participants motivated to align their lifestyle choices with their values and their impact on the planet.
