Animals Are Not Ours to Eat

Cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, and fish have feelings, thoughts, and personalities, just as we do. Yet the meat, dairy, egg, and fishing industries treat them like machines, with cruelty that’s hard to swallow.

Humans don’t need to eat animal flesh, milk, or eggs to live. In fact, we’re healthier if we don’t! Going vegan is easy, and it’s better for our health, the environment – and our consciences.
