Vegan Well: News Flash!!:
Disregard for farmed animals persists becasue few people realize the ways in which these individual creatures are mistreated and even fewer actually witness the abuse. Once you watch just one video you will be appalled. You will not want to continue supporting this brutality by eating meat or consuming dairy products, or using animals in any way by exploiting them. Disregard for these animals exists and persists because there is a demand, but if you knew, if you saw, if you could stomach what is really going on to put those packages and cartons in your grocery stores you would say to yourself a great injustice is going on, becasue anyone who is opposed to injustice in the world, would pause and should pause and think about the fact that humanity breeds, confines, mistreates and killis billions of animals on an annual basis just so they can eat them becasue they taste good. So would human flesh taste good with a few spices and cooked to perfection. That does not make it right. All you activists for different causes, like native rights, peace, equality, environmental issues, occupy movements, etc, here is a NEWS FLASH.....this animal torture and mistreatment is CRITICAL and is the most important issue that can solve much of what you see wrong in the world. Get on board, focus on the biggest issue we have. Turn your activism towards a cause that is critical, give your energy to these poor innocent victims who are suffering hourly. There is no greater cause on this planet right now. There is no greater travesty. There is no greater action you can take individually to address many of this worlds problems by choosing to go vegan. Please do it now. If you call yourself spiritual, do it now. If you campaign against injustice do it now. If you complain about the world or your own issues do it now. If you have issues about how bad things are or how you feel rotten, depressed, tired, do it now. Go vegan. Even if you have no issues and have adjusted to a world that tortures billions of animals in deplorable conditions and you happily go about your life, please educate yourself, you will be saving more than yourself, you will be making a difference. The clock is ticking as we move toward starvation and the collapse of modern society. If it comes to that, at least the animals will be out of their misery.

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!
