Fact: According to The United Nations, raising animals for food causes more greenhouse emissions than all the cars, planes, ships and trains in the world.
The meat industry generates billions of pounds of drug-laced feces every year. This toxic waste frequently makes it’s way to our waterways, causing serious environmental impact with deadly consequences to millions of fish.
The end does not justify the means: It can take up to 16 POUNDS of grain to produce just ONE POUND of meat. The demand to grow so much grain to feed farmed animals causes millions of acres of native habitat (like rain forests) to be destroyed and replaced with a single crop. Now you can make a difference by signing peta2’s petition asking to label meat with a clear warning that meat is the number one cause of global warming.
