Stop being an ass@#$. Take responsibility for what you choose to eat! Over 56 billion farmed animals are killed every year by humans. More than 3,000 animals die every second in slaughterhouses around the world. These shocking figures do not even include fish and other sea creatures whose deaths are so great they are only measured in tonnes. Animals are not simply food products, but thinking, feeling individuals who want to enjoy their lives. An animals life is as important and irreplaceable to them, as ours is to us. But as children we are conditioned to view cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and fish as inferior beings whose reason for existence is to provide us with meat, milk and eggs. This way of seeing other species is known as speciesism. Its time for us to change the way we see the other animals with which we share the planet. We need to stop thinking of them as just resources, and to start viewing them for who they are: individual sentient beings whose lives deserve to be respected and valued. The solution: veganism There is a very simple way we can prevent the greatest amount of animal suffering from taking place: By adopting a vegan diet we can personally save up to 95 animals a year, and thousands during our lifetimes. Most of us already believe that animals should not be harmed unnecessarily yet eating animal products harms and kills animals and is unnecessary for human health. Choosing a healthy, varied vegan diet means respecting the lives of animals and refusing to take part in their exploitation.
