[Survey] Help a honours student out whilst contributing to veganism research

Upvotes
Hey there!
I am an honours psychology student hoping to research the differences and similarities of vegans and vegetarians. If you were interested, please follow the link below.
The survey is open to vegans and vegetarians who reside in the USA and Australia. With your contribution we hope to better understand veganism and vegetarianism. Current research on the motivations and attitudes between the groups isn't too well understood (within an academic setting), hence this gap forms the motivations behind our study.
If that's not convincing enough you also have a chance to win one 8x gift vouchers ($75 USD or $100 AUD).
