Answer

Vegitarians do not eat the flesh of animals. Vegans do not eat or use any animal products: no meat, fish, eggs, milk, gelatin, fur, or leather so they do not wear leather or drink normal milk it has to be soya. It might be accurate to say that vegans are "strict vegetarians," although motivation and attitude are almost as important as behavior. Veganism is a way of life based on non-violence and respect for sentient life, in addition to environmental and human health concerns. A person might be vegetarian for similar concerns, though not necessarily.

Answer

Veganism is a political statement (we will exploit no animal for any reason), whereas vegetarianism is a dietary plan (we don't eat meat). I know vegans who won't go to movies that have dogs in them, because they had to exploit the dogs to make the movie.
