People Power:
People have power to change things on a massive scale, each individual has enormous power, and together we change paradigms, worlds, society conditions. We speak with our dollar, what we buy. We speak every single day to other humans. We can start a blog and be heard on the internet. There are no more excuses or playing the blame game, the wasted finger pointing at government and 'the bad' guy of your choice. You look in the mirror. You have power to change things. People have power in numbers. Millions, billions are supporting cruelty to animals right now, as they also cause environmental damage and species extinction, ill health for humans, promotion of more violence in the entertainment industry, in the home, on our roads. You eat violence and cruelty three meals or four meals a day. Animals are so poorly treated and tortured in dairy and meat factory farming practices this poison you consume can not be other wise, not to mention the hormones and antibiotics and a plethora of other crap they pump in to the sick, diseased, sad, caged and unhealthy animals in the millions of millions of factory farms around the world. You are eating torture. It's not even about slaughter it is about the daily, hourly atrocity that goes on right under our nose, only most people are not aware of it fully. It is not broadcast on tv but I urge you to watch even one quarter of one video showing what goes on inside these hell holes. Go to you tube, surf the net the information is there. No more rationalizations, excuses, arguments. There is no argument for repeated torture and blatant cruelty. People have the power, lets hit em' with the numbers. This darkness could change quickly if we act responsibly. Become a vegan. That is a first step and a very important one. Vote with your dollar. There are super athletes that are vegan, dogs do better on a vegan diet, followed over a ten year period, than vegetarian dogs, they do 95% better as far as health than meat eating dogs while vegetarian dogs do 77% better. The information is all there. Vegetarians are lumped in with Vegans but just giving up meat is not enough. The dairy industry is an atrocity. Do your own research, there are no more reasons to continue down this road of exploitation, cruelty and abuse. It can be done, it has been done, there are approximately 163 million Vegans in our world. That's not enough though. Not for the billions of animals in pain every hour of every day until they get slaughtered. Let's shut down factory farming and dairy farming!!! We can do it. We must do it. We face massive starvation by continuing down this road according to the UN and scientific research, we have starvation and environmental issues already, we must act now. People have the power, power to the people.

Vegans for World Peace
Our food system is inefficient, cruel and we are wasting our resources. We will run out of clean water, deplete the soil of nutrients and collapse the ecosystem. We are destroying the tropical rainforest, the lungs of the planet, and home to millions (if not trillions) of species of life forms that took millions of years of evolution to create. We are growing food on this land to feed the animals we eat (for the most part.) We are creating mass extinction and we are not immune to extinction ourselves as we are dealing in a land of finite resources. Humans are starving right now because we choose to feed their food to the animals we eat. Approx. 50,000 litres of drinking water goes into producing 1 kilo of beef or a gallon of milk. It takes approximately 10 times more grain to feed a "food" animal to eat it than it does to just feed the grain directly to the human being. We can feed 7 billion humans much more efficiently than 100 billion or more land animals. And we are ignoring our moral obligation to protect innocent animals and people who cannot protect themselves. Yes animals in the wild eat flesh but they do not breed in captivity and confine their prey to spaces indoors without space enough to turn around or be comfortable at all during the entire life. These animals are living a life of torture. No wild animal is so cruel to abuse, torture, confine, neglect, overcrowd, beat, cram in cages so small they never move, allow them no exercise, no sunshine, EVER, no movement even! Cut up into pieces while conscious, skin them alive, boil alive, etc etc etc This is common the world over. 100 billion a year we slaughter!!!!! and we kill another 1-3 trillion in the oceans. Non human animals are not capable of cultivating plant crops, however we are. We do not need animal products to survive. Some animals do need other animals to survive we are not one of them - many have proven this. Our intestines are long like herbivores and we have a back up emergency system we are abusing. Animal protein and fat creates disease in our body where plant food does not. We can derive all we need from plants and bacteria, rather than have the animals process this for us. If we focus on feeding the people directly we stop the torture and slaughter. If you eat meat dairy or eggs and you watch how the pigs, cows, chickens, farmed fish etc live you, will see they suffer immensely. When we take from the oceans we risk the lives of the sharks and whales who are essential to the ocean ecosystem. We need to keep it in balance. And the taste for flesh is not worth mass suffering beyond comprehension. We can learn to eat the plants. If you don't have the stomach to watch these videos on how the "food" animals live - it is because you already know it is creating suffering for them. Please stop supporting animal cruelty immediately! We can eat if we grow food for us rather than the animals we breed into existence to consume. We threaten the wildlife when we farm the land to grow the animal food. There is enough food for everyone but not enough to feed and care properly for so many animals! Every social issue is solved by going to a plant based diet and provides a tangible way of knowing who is cruel and who believes all life is sacred. The torture can stop but it takes each and every one of us to make it happen. Violence is a choice. Please stop contributing to lifetimes of starvation, torture, confinement, abuse, and slaughter. Please stop! Let us instead worship all life, not just our own. Let's love and worship instead of destroy, torture, and exploit ok?! Please! We can do this! And we will be better for it!
