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!

Canadian Government: Ban Animal Factory Farming

2. Petition by
  
  Diana Winger
  
  Victoria, Canada

We can feed 7 billion people directly more efficiently than feeding the 60-100 billion animals we abuse, torture, confine, neglect and slaughter each year on this planet. We are wasting our resources. 50,000 litres of water goes into 1 kilo of beef. We could feed the one billion humans who need food if we grew food for the people directly. And we end the cycle of violence. We have a choice.

To:
Canadian Government, Prime Minister of Canada 

Please Ban Factory Farming! Animal Abuse, Torture, Confinement, Neglect and Slaughter is a choice. We can feed 7 billion humans much easier than 60 billion+ animals. We are wasting our resources. 50,000 litres of water goes into 1 kilo of beef. We could feed the one billion humans who need food if we grew food for the people directly. And we end the cycle of violence. We have a choice. We have a...

Animals matter. Animal cruelty and abuse is WRONG. Canada should change this and pride itself in its accomplishments. There are no reasons for this. It is embarassing that Canada still has all this. Factory farming is sickening and immoral. I am vegan. But lets atleast more to supporting farm local farms - it will help out HEALTH and ECONOMY!

I REFUSE to purchase factory farmed meat and have for many years! If we are what we eat and we eat factory farmed meat, then we are, emotional hell, torture, seclusion, abuse, pain, hate and murder! These animals deserve better, the way we treat them, and the earth in general, WILL come back to bite us! We need to take a stand and do what is right....Factory farming is defended often by demand and profit, and is proof that "the LOVE of money IS the route of ALL evil"!

Economics cannot justify this kind of treatment of animals. People would be arrested if they treated dogs and cats this way -- and don't tell me these farm animals are somehow different; pigs in particular are smarter than dogs, and the evidence of their abject misery in these farms is growing by the day.
