Issues
Stop Farming Animals for Food
- Farming animals for food causes immense pain and suffering, which is
morally and ethically wrong because they feel pain and suffer the same
as we humans do.
- Farming animals for food destroys our environment by contributing
18% of all greenhouse gases (more than all transportation) in the form
of methane, which is far worse that carbon dioxide. Farming
animals also consumes more land and water that raising plant food for
human consumption, and is the main cause of destroying the world's rain
forests.
- Farming animals for food contributes to world hunger by diverting
food crops to feeding animals destined for slaughter. This is a
very inefficient way of supplying needed calories to hungry
humans.
- Farming animals for food hardens the hearts of humans who
cause and contribute to their suffering, because these humans no longer
feel or care about the animals' pain and suffering. Without such
empathy, humans become sociopathic.
