The Top 15 Vegan Facebook Posts of 2015

Though we may not always like to admit it, it’s hard to imagine a world without Facebook. It’s where many hear about the day’s big news—like when The Ringling Bros. cut elephant acts from its circus performances. For others, it’s a way to share interesting information—did you know two tablespoons of hemp seeds contains more protein than beef? However you use it, no one can deny the power of the world’s largest social network. And when that power is used to help spread perhaps the most important movement of our time—let’s just say we really “like” that. We give you the top 15 Facebook posts on VegNews.com for 2015.
