Would you ever open your fridge, pull out twenty plates of pasta and chuck them into the bin, and then, eat only one plate of food? How about leveling fifty-five square feet of rainforest for one lunch or dumping two-thousand-five-hundred gallons of water down the drain? Of course you wouldn't. However, just eating half a kilo of meat will cause this. Eating meat will cause inefficient use and destruction to our resources and environment, cause immense animal suffering, and have detrimental effects on our health. So, if roasting a dog to complement your mashed potato disturbs you, then why roast any other gentle animal?
Are you aware that one-hundred-and-thirty million
animals are murdered annually in New Zealand? Most
animals are raised on factory farms, the system which
strives to maximize output at minimum costs. As a
result, the animals suffer immense pain mentally and
physically every second of their lives. They are crammed
into filthy windowless confinement systems and will
never raise their families, rummage in the soil or
do anything that is natural to them. They won't even
feel the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until
the day they are loaded onto trucks, destined for
slaughter. Over ninety million animals in New Zealand
suffer these conditions and many remain conscious
as their throats are cut, then, left to bleed to death.
Another cruel practice farmers often carry out is
the deprivation of food from birds for fourteen days
in order to shock their bodies into laying more eggs
for human consumption. And, because male chicks are
useless in the meat industry, each year a hundred
million of them are ground up alive or tossed into
bags to suffocate. What's more, at the slaughter house,
the chickens throats are cut, and they are immersed
in scalding hot water to remove their feathers while
many are still alive.
Even
nowadays, to mark cows for identification, ranchers
push hot fire irons into their flesh as they bellow
in pain. Consequently, third degree burns occur and
male calves' testicles are ripped from their scrotums
all without pain relief. To add to their suffering,
the land which cattle graze on has air saturated with
chemicals and these fumes cause chronic respiratory
problems, therefore making breathing painful.
