Only 100 billion people have ever lived. 7 billion alive today. And we torture and kill 2 billion animals every week.
WATCH WHAT YOU PAY FOR. (dairy)
WATCH WHAT YOU PAY FOR. (eggs)
oh and btw no… more animals are not killed via crop harvesting than via animal agriculture.
40% of global marine catch is by-catch (basically we are throwing back enormous amounts of unusable species into the sea, dead and wasted)
An estimated 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die in fishing nets every year.
Overgrazing is blamed for 35% of soil degradation, deforestation for 30%, and agriculture for 27%. These main causes are directly or indirectly related to the consumption of animal products.
Studies indicate that a varied vegan diet requires about a third of the land needed for conventional Western diets. We do not have enough land to feed everyone on an animal-based diet.
The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent. This is a higher share than transport.
Animal product consumption is causing deforestation: there are undiscovered plants and other things in these areas that could help with medicine, not to mention that rain forests and other land contributes to 20% or so of the Earth’s oxygen.
60% of deforestation is related to animal agriculture
For every 4 lbs of retail fish caught, 1 lb of other fish dies.
It has been predicted that all the world’s fisheries will collapse in 2048 unless something is done to stop it.
It is estimated that over-fishing threatens the food security of about 200 million people.
Big, rich, Western, white countries go into other countries: usually (again) poor, underprivileged, native areas that are (again) usually inhabited by PoC. This takes land away from the people in that region or country and gives it to a) the livestock and/or b) the crops raised for that livestock.
Even in the west, people who live near slaughter farms have shitty water, shitty soil, shitty air, and they get really really sick.
They’re also more likely to be poverty stricken.
Animal Agriculture Sickens Everyone
Antibiotic use in meat production has been linked to the rise in ‘super bugs’, which are antibiotic-resistant bacteria, found in a lot of meats available in supermarkets. These maladies can kill people.
“Plant based is the future, out of necessity,“ and the UN agrees.
CO2, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide from the livestock industry are killing our oceans with acidic, hypoxic Dead Zones.
By 2048 all our oceans will be overfished to the point of collapse.
10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one species. We are now facing the 6th mass extinction in cosmological history.
Water is the new oil. Nations will soon be going to war for it. Underground aquifers that took millions of years to fill are running dry.
It takes 50,000 litres of water to produce one kilo of beef.
1 billion people today are hungry. 20 million people will die from malnutrition.
If everyone ate a Western diet, we would need 2 Planet Earths to feed them. We only have one. And she is dying.
Greenhouse gas from livestock is 50% more than transport: planes, trains, trucks, cars, and ships.
You Could Feed Hundreds of People with What It Takes To Raise 200 Kilos of Boneless Beef
An acre of land can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, but only 250 pounds of beef.

Meat subsidies strip other food industries to the bone
If Britain went vegetarian, less than half the farm land would be needed; vegan, less than a quarter.
We currently produce enough food to feed the world, but feed it to animals we later kill instead.
Studies confirm increasing population must abandon meat by 2050.

Rats feel empathy (so much so that they will selflessly give up their own food - chocolate chips, no less - to a rat having a bad day who didn’t get any.) And we still subject them to brutal testing.

FEIGNED CONCERN FOR MIGRANT WORKERS
People working in slaughterhouses are at a far higher chance of being perpetrators of domestic violence due to trauma, desensitisation and the normalisation of violence, compared with the general population. They are also much more likely than average to have problems with alcohol abuse and with mental health issues like PTSD from working under extremely stressful conditions. Unfortunately these are most often poor immigrants with no other choice. These are the same slaughterhouses who process animals regardless of whether they are factory farmed, free range, organic or grass fed. In 2004/5 there were 2270 injury claims made in the meat processing industry, most of which were due to falls, injuries with knives and ‘body stressing’. People working in tanneries to make leather from the skin of animals that have been killed are exposed to numerous dangerous chemicals (chromium being the worst). The chemicals can cause cancer, skin diseases, respiratory illnesses while the machinery is also dangerous and can result in amputations. In India, people have died due to the exposure to these chemicals, due to unsafe working conditions. People have also died in Bangladesh and are affected by the chemicals in a multitude of ways. These chemicals can also leach into the water supply and affect the air and soil quality, which in turn causes illnesses and diseases in nearby populations.
