‘Veganism Is A Fight For A More Just World,’ Says Vegan MMA Fighter

Vegan MMA fighter Ahmed Labban, known as “The Shadow,” is featured on a billboard for the ZeGeVege Festival in Croatia, with the message “veganism is a fight for a more just world.” Labban adopted a vegan diet in 2023 and believes it has positively impacted his energy levels, performance, and recovery. He emphasizes the importance of protecting vulnerable beings and sees veganism as a way to promote a more just world by reducing animal suffering, pollution, and climate change.

Labban enjoys adapting traditional recipes to be plant-based and trying Croatian dishes prepared in a vegan way. The ZeGeVege Festival, organized by Animal Friends Croatia, features Labban as a campaign ambassador due to his representation of strength, discipline, compassion, and responsibility as a vegan athlete. The festival promotes veganism as a direct way for individuals to positively influence issues like animal suffering, pollution, climate change, and hunger, advocating for a more just world for all.
