Animals are concentrated into sheds by the tens of thousands, they are cruelly slaughtered and are transported violently, chickens get their beaks cut off at literally one day old without pain killer, pigs get their teeth ripped out of their heads at a very young age, their tails cut off, and get castrated all without pain killer, cows get branded - not once, not twice but several times in a lifetime plus castrated without pain killer. This is mostly why People go vegetarian/vegan, the treatment of farm animals on factory farms is unbelievable.

 

The environment is destroyed all the time by the meat industry, instead of using land for growing normal corn which is meant for farm animals, we could use it for vegetables and fruits that can feed many, many more humans than what the cows, chicken, and pigs which eat that feed and make much less food in the end. This ties into world hunger also, if you see a charity that feeds poor children a meal with meat in it almost every meal, remind them that we could grow literally tons  more food than that meat and it's a lot cheaper to feed them vegetarian foods.

 

vegetarianism and vegan-ism is much more healthier than a meaty diet.

Why?

Meat is packed with saturated fat, disease, and can give you colon cancer, cheese is really fattening also, I'm a vegetarian myself and I've lost weight, and if your daughter/son is vegan, unless they're packing themselves up with candy, they should be very healthy! Only 2 percent of vegans are overweight, in comparison, over 2/3rds (66%) of Americans are overweight.

 

We animal rights activists are not only for animal rights but human rights too, most are against sweat shops, war, worker rights, and more. Another reason for not eating meat is because meat packing is the most hazardous job in the United States and has been for the past five years in a row! Many workers are setting up labor unions and going on strike, including this group striking at Smithfield Foods meat processing plants, the biggest pork producer in the US

 

 

Many people think that the bible says that it's OK to eat animals, but all it says is:

"dominion over all animals"

but many scholars who study the bible say dominion actually means more to care for animals than to use them for food.

Many people also argue that it's our natural instinct to eat an animal or that many other animals eat other animals to survive, so why not us?

People are able to survive off a vegetarian/vegan diet and this doesn't give us the right to put animals in cages and slit their necks open. wild animals actually kill their prey swiftly and the animals that are killed are living in a sun-lit area where they can run free and enjoy life.

 

We keep animals in cages, workers torcher animals often on factory farms, and make their pain prolonging. We take male chicks who were bred into a world that didn't want them and grind them up alive, this isn't normal.
