Vegan Mentor Program Resource Guide

Thank you for participating in Catskill Animal Sanctuary’s Vegan Mentor program!

Catskill Animal Sanctuary has thoroughly researched a variety of topics and media to help you help your mentee on their vegan journey. They are organized by topic, and then by resource type within each topic. The topic key will also help you find resources about the four major topics relating to a vegan lifestyle: animals, the environment, health, and vegan living. Resources with graphic content are also indicated. If you are viewing this list electronically, you can click on a title for an active link to a trailer, video, place to buy a book, etc. We encourage you to talk with your mentee to determine where their interests lie, and what types of resources - books, internet videos, documentaries, podcasts, etc. - they prefer. You are welcome to use other resources outside of the ones listed below. However, these resources must not: ● Encourage illegal activities ● Promote violence or aggression against any species ● Contain unsubstantiated claims or ‘facts’ ● Promote any type of trolling or bullying ● Support welfarist approaches to (i.e. advocating for the improving the treatment of animals as opposed to the cessation of their exploitation for food, clothing, entertainment, research, or for any reason) Please reach out to program staff if you have questions about these or other resources to be used, or to suggest additional resources.

Happy mentoring!
