The creation of the international Vegan Flag was announced on 2017-06-09 [1, 2]. It was created by the vegan activist Gad Hakimi, a designer from Israel, with the online assistance from a number of vegan activists from several countries [1, 2]. The flag displays a white inverted chevron between three triangles, the one within the chevron in green and the other two in blue. These colors symbolize the connection of humanity to the animals represented by their natural habitats: blue stands for the sea and air, green for the land and white for unity [2]. The flag has quickly spread worldwide: there are examples of its use in Israel [3, 4, 5], United Kingdom [6], California [3, 7], Croatia [3, 8] and the Philippines [3, 9]. It was also flown by the mountaineers at the mountain peaks, such as the Himlung Himal mountain in the Himalaya range [10] and the Elbrus mountain in the Caucasus range [11], as well as used at the LGBT-related events, such as the Belgrade Pride 2018 in Serbia [12] and the Equality Parade 2023 in Warsaw, Poland [13].
