EAT 1/2 LESS MEAT TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING!

THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE EATING! YOUR FOOD WAS BEATEN AND THEN BUTCHERED ALIVE! MEAT IS PUMPED SO FULL OF HORMONES, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE PESTICIDES IN THE ANIMALS' FEED, THAT IT CAUSES CANCER AND OBESITY! growth hormone makes animals grow rapidly, why would you think anything else would happen by consuming it yourself?
.........................................
almost all factory farm chickens, including "free range", "organic", and "cage free" chickens have their beaks cut off when they are chicks. often, too much of the beak is removed, and the chicken cannot eat or drink properly. it starves to death slowly.
The egg industry kills 280M male chicks a year (males don't lay eggs.)
Many males are tossed alive into the the dumpster behind the hatchery.
the daily life of a turkey:
folie gras: geese are force-fed to fatten their livers which are then made into folie gras.
Two or three times every day dairy cows are hooked up to milk machines. Cows are commonly pushed to produce 10 times more milk than is natural. This causes festering open wounds. ALL OF THIS ENDS UP IN OUR DAIRY! america is home of the highest allowable PUS CELL COUNT. got pus??
The lifespan of a cow is 20 years. dairy cows only live 3-4 years. they are milked and impregnated endlessly until their very bones disintegrate, and they fall to the ground-too exhausted and lame to stand any longer. these cows are called downers. Downers are animals too sick to walk to slaughter, so they are dragged by shackles and chains by their ankles into trucks on the way to slaughterhouses.
10% of dairy cows are downers. 40% of hamburger is from dairy cows. EVER WONDER WHY YOU CAN BUY A BURGER FOR A DOLLAR? how NUTRITIOUS do you really think our milk and beef is, if it is produced under these conditions? if the cow didn't have enough calcium in her bones to even stand, how much could possibly be in your glass of milk?
veal is the meat of baby cows that spend their meager 4 months of life in a crate or cage too narrow to turn around.
here is the fur trim on your jacket:
fur animals are starved, frozen, beaten, electrocuted, and SKINNED ALIVE so that you car have FUR PURSE or a FUR JACKET. CRUELTY IS NOT LUXURY! KARMA WILL COME BACK TO YOU!

tell Jennifer Lopez she is disgusting:

here is your petfood, shampoo, soap, cleaner, makeup (anything containing a chemical):
This beagle is the victim of a "burn test".
this is bubbles- a baby monkey taken from his mother at birth. huntingdon labs sewed his eyes shut and implanted a sonar device into his brain to "see what would happen" when someone is born blind and alone. when he was rescued he was INSANE. was this test really NECESSARY? or applicable to ANYTHING?
these companies do outdated, obsolete, repetitive tests on animals so we can line our shelves with products full of chemicals that are clogging our bloodstreams as we speak! if the tests on animals were necessary, and so informative, why are we still being poisoned?? right now in canada, labs are testing EVERY chemical AGAIN using the SAME TESTS they have been using since the 1920's!

How can eating less meat stop global warming?I have heard the jokes... " how can cows farting pollute the environment???"What we don't realize is that large animal farms make large waste. That waste has to go somewhere. Ask any farmer, and they will tell you - methane is a deadly gas. It is what is created as manure decomposes. Large ventilation systems have to be set in place to route the gas. Recently, six people died because a venilation shaft was blocked, and methane gas filled the compartment. Family members, including 2 little girls, tried to help the initial person that collapsed and died almost instantly themselves! Methane is odorless, colorless, and deadly. There are huge quantities of this in out atmosphere right now.The good news is that unlike carbon monoxide, methane can be cycled out of our air very quickly. All we have to do is make less of it.This means that if everyone ate 1/2 less meat, there would be 1/2 less farm animals polluting the ground and the air.Spread the word - do your part - together we can make a difference!
suffering is not entertainment! don't support rodeos, or circuses!!!
