Ecology / Environment The production of meat, milk and eggs through the use of animals puts far more strain on the environment than any other kind of food production, in addition, the use of animals to produce food is extremely inefficient. It is also a wasteful use of resources, which in the near future will not be as readily available as they are today. As a result of the increasing world population and steadily decreasing amount of agricultural land we are forced here to find new ways to feed ourselves. More information. Animal welfare / Animal Rights More than 65 billion chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, sheep and ducks are killed year for year, world wide. As a consequence of this enormous figure, the keeping of livestock over the last decades has become totally industrialised. Animals have been degraded to meat-machines; they are kept in cramped conditions, often unable even to move. Ironically, developments in science reveal that these very animals are beings who are conscious and capable of experiencing suffering. There is a discrepancy between science and awareness of animal welfare in society on one hand, and the practice of industrialised livestock farming on the other. They are diametrically opposed. More information. Feeding the World / Hunger Eating animals means that the food chain, starting with plants and ending with humans, is lengthened and with that we waste a lot of food which could be used to feed people. In addition to this, foodstuff used to feed animals is often imported from countries where starvation is rife. Hence the well known, telling saying: “the cattle of the rich eat the bread of the poor”. More information. Health Today, the over consumption of meat is increasingly regarded as one of the major causes of many typical diseases facing humans. This is not the only negative effect that industrialised livestock farming has on human health. More information. European petition "Stop EU subsidies to livestock industry"

EKOLOGIJA / OKOLIŠ Proizvodnja mesa, mlijeka i jaja iskorištavanjem životinja dovodi do bitno većeg stresa okoliša nego proizvodnja bilo kojeg drugog oblika hrane. Dodatno, korištenje životinja za prizvodnju hrane izuzetno je neučinkovito te nepromišljeno trošenje resursa koji u skoroj budućnosti neće biti tako lako dostupni kao što su danas. Zbog stalnog rasta svjetske populacije te smanjenja površina obradivog zemljišta, moramo pronalaziti nove načine da bi se prehranili. Više informacija. DOBROBIT IVOTINJA / PRAVA IVOTINJA Oko 65 milijardi pilića, purica, svinja, krava, ovaca i patki ubija se godinu za godinom diljem svijeta. Ova enormna brojka posljedica je potpuno industrijaliziranog uzgoja životinja. Životinje su degradirane u strojeve za proizvodnju mesa; drži ih se u malenim i sabijenim prostorima gdje se često ne mogu micati. Ironično, znanstvena su istraživanja pokazala kao su te iste životinje svjesna bića koja mogu poimati patnju. Postoji nedosljednost između znanosti i svijesti javnosti o dobrobiti životinja na jednoj strani i prakse industrijskog uzgoja životinja na drugoj. One su potpuno suprotstavljene. Više informacija. NAHRANITI SVIJET / GLAD Jedenje životinja znači produljenje hranidbenog lanca, počevši s biljkama i završavajući s ljudima. Taj bi višak hrane mogao biti upotrijebljen za prehranu ljudi. Kao dodatak tomu, hrana za životinje se najčešće uvozi iz zemalja u kojima vlada glad. Odatle dolazi izreka: 'Stoka bogatih jede kruh siromašnih.' Više informacija. ZDRAVLJE Pretjerana konzumacija mesa smatra se jednim od glavnih uzroka mnogih kroničnih bolesti s kojima se suvremeni ljudi suočavaju. To nije jedini negativni efekt koji industrijalizirani uzgoj stoke ima na ljudsko zdravlje. Više informacija.
