Most years there are over 80 billion animals world-wide that are killed for animal products.
The animal industry, when taken fully into account, accounts for 30-51% of total Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. That means the animal consumption industry is a major contributer to the downfall of life on this planet. In good conscience, we should give up consuming as many animal products as we can for this reason alone.
Most of these animals are treated unfairly; many in cages; and many in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's).
The problem of animal mis-use is very severe and is a crime that a majority of the human race continues to commit and truly the human race will not be able to advance very far until this is corrected.
Concerned people should severely limit or cut off their usage of animal products in their food. For example, you can buy Smart Balance butter instead of real butter. You can buy Vegan burritos such as produced by Amy's or other vendors and buy analogs to many products such as Boca burgers. Many vegan burgers and chicken analog sandwiches taste just great!
An example of a great restaurant that is purely vegan is Native Foods. Please go visit this restaurant to learn how wonderful vegan food can be!
One group working on this issue is Animal Rising.
