(We do not believe that vegetarianism is ever a secular/non-religious practice, but we wanted to provide links to groups that are not affiliated with any religion.)  International Vegetarian Union |  | The International Vegetarian Union (IVU) was founded in 1908 when the first World Vegetarian Congress was held in Dresden, Germany. It is a non-profit making organization with membership open to any group of individual who promotes vegetarianism.
The aim of the IVU is to promote vegetarianism throughout the world. | |
