However just like any other title, a vegan doesn't have a set of boundries that cover all theoretical and practical aspects.

Don't eat animals. Don't wear animals. Don't experimenton or abuse animals.

Pretty simple.

Force feeding or just feeding monkeys period - feeding them anything or caging them to better locate their poo isn't "vegan" let alone humane.

The real question is who eats this stuff, what kinda idiot buys into that sales pitch. If you find someone, I've got some peanuts and corn for sale.....

So as a part of your lifestyle, do you also boycott zoos, theme parks with animals, circuses, state fairs, 4H shows, etc? What about TV shows like "The Planet's Funniest Animals"? And are you opposed to keeping house pets?

Opposed to pets? - Yes, almost completely.  Rescue's of all kinds (dog's cats, chickens, goats etc...) that are sterilized are ok with most vegans, if they're on vegan feed. 

Vegan feed because:

All animals are equal.
How many chickens have to die to feed your dog? 
If 1 chicken = 1 dog, and you're going to feed your dog chickens, and putting down the dog and killing the chicken are equal, and it will take more than 1 chicken to feed your dog for its life - then why not put down the dog, and save dozends/hundreds of chickens? -  Follow?  Vegan feed is certainly possible with dogs, cats, it's really not.

(Wanna bust a vegan/veggie who has pets, and this is your $$)

Any other animal bred/grown/created for our pleasure I'd not see the point in.

I do boycott Zoo's, as I boycott the rodeo, theme parks etc... yes. 

A true animal rescue or sanctuary we wouldn't have issue with, and I think we need more of.
