Pick vegetarianism
Could you imagine burning all the hair off your dog? Or instead of putting pet to sleep you torture it to death? No, well that’s what you support when you eat meat. Except instead of your pets dying its cows, and farm animals. All to satisfy your stomach. I think if more people picked vegetarianism a lot more lives would be saved human and animal alike.
Animals are tortured everyday for our tastebud’s. in today’s factory farms animals are shoved into tiny crates by the thousands with no room to move around. Many die from suffocation before they even get to the slaughterhouse and there lives are wasted even more. For no reason but laziness factory farms and slaughter houses torture there “product” unethically. Usually these animals never see the sunlight until the day they are loaded onto a truck to be brutally killed at the slaughter house. Remember animals can scream too.
If you pick vegetarianism you will be more healthy. When you’re a vegetarian you have less of a chance to get diseases like cancer and heart disease. According to William Canteni, MD director of Framingham heart study vegetarians and vegans have the best diet, they have the lowest heart rates of coronary disease of any of any group in the USA.. You are also more likely to be obese, have diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, and asthma.
The preparation to make edible meat is killing our environment. 70% of grains like wheat and corn are fed to farmed animals. The food we could use to feed our country is instead being used to over fatten farmed animals who get so overweight they collapse because they cant hold themselfs up.
Overfeeding farmed animals is worsening world hunger. It takes up to 22 pounds of grain to produce exactly one edible pound of flesh. According to a recent Compassion in World Farming article, we waste half our crops we could be using to feed the hungry on overfeeding animals to the point of death.
The waste from farmed animals pollutes the world. Very bad cases of pollution, sickness, and death occur wherever livestock operation settle. Factory farms pollute water and air in every direction from where it starts. Spreading contamination and illness to the closest people.
The workers of factory farms and slaughter houses are almost as mistreated as the animals themselves. Most workers are immigrants who cant speak English and only work there because that’s the only job they could get. And if their hurt they usually don’t report it because the people in charge scare them out of it. Same with quitting if one or more of them try to quit they harass them and scare them too much to even try. The conditions in slaughter houses ( floors so slick with blood its hard to even walk for example) make them one of the most dangerous places to work on earth. Which could be solved by simple ethical treatment in the factories.
By picking vegetarianism you can help save your life as well as millions of innocent animals. Do the right thing and pick vegetarianism.
