Egalitarianism

If you are brave enough to watch this video, then there are some serious questions that you will be confronted with. If you know for a fact that a certain action on your part causes animals to be tortured what will you do? Will you stop? Eating an egg from a chicken living in healthy conditions may be a relatively benign, but as you will see in this documentary about the egg industry, living conditions in modern egg farms are anything but normal and they're anything but natural. Even "free-range" eggs are untrustworthy. There is no federal law regulating the labeling of "free-range" animal products. The animal industry can essentially do whatever the hell they want and flat out lie to you about it.

Many people talk about working to protect the planet, some recycle, some bring cloth bags to the grocery store, some ride their bike to work and others actually go out and rally to change the laws and regulations which are supposed to keep big industry in check. Of all those people, there are very few who are willing to examine our most significant contribution to the destruction of the planet: meat.

Most people have no idea what happens to animals before they reach their plates in their neat processed form. If you are coming to this page you must be stronger than most people, because truthfully most people simply don't want to know.

Knowing the truth bears with it a certain responsibilty. Please don't push this out of your mind. This is an on going reality for farm animals all over the world. Stop contributing to it. Stop eating meat.

Meat is the single most significant factor contributing to the destruction of the planet, and it is a factor that we control directly as individuals.

Deforestation and habitat Destruction

Meat causes deforestation in and habitat destruction on multiple levels. Clearing trees to create grazing land is the most obvious, but grazing land is only part of the picture. Most domesticated animals raised for slaughter or for their byproducts are fed grains either as a supplement to grazing or as a replacement. Growing these grains takes space, and when there is a forest in the way of growing grains for animals it has always been the forest that looses. Eating organic doesn't change a thing when it comes to deforestation. The forest of the world are being cut down to make room for burgers and hotdogs, organic and free range as they might be.

The equivalent to seven football fields is destroyed every minute!
