approach to eating, we could largely limit . . . strokes, hypertension,obesity, osteoporosis, and adult-onset diabetes. Meanwhile we wouldsee a marked reduction in cancers of the breast, prostate, colon, rectum,

uterus, and ovaries. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn

- HEART ATTACK PROOF CNN

"I don't understand why asking people to eat a well-balanced vegetarian dietis considered drastic, while it is medically conservative to cut people openand put them on cholesterol-lowering drugs for the rest of their

lives. Dean Ornish, MD

"Usually, the first thing a country does in the course of economicdevelopment is to introduce a lot of livestock. Our data are showing that this

is not a very smart move and the Chinese are listening. They are realizingthat animal-based agriculture is not the way to go.... We are basically avegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant food andminimizing our intake of animal foods.... "Once people start introducinganimal products into their diet, that's when the mischiefstarts. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., of CornellUniversity

INTELLEGENCEINTELLEGENCE CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON

Intelligence: intelligence is the ability to live in harmony with

our environment , which animals can do and humans

obviously can not . Usage of tools: for their ability or inability to use tools,

keeping in mind that they communicate long distances with

out tools travel with out maps etc...

PIGS

Professor Donald Broom of Cambridge University Veterinary School inthe UK has stated that pigs have the cognitive ability to be quite

sophisticated. Even more so than dogs and certainly three year olds.

Professor Stanley Curtis of Penn State University there is much moregoing on in terms of thinking and observing by pigs than we would ever

have guessed. Co-researcher Dr. Sarah Boysen concluded that pigs are able

to focus with a greater intensity than a chimp.

-More than 20 verbal ques have been discovered so far including the

vocalization for Im hungry as well as a call to attract a mate. Pigs often

form elaborate extended family units and learn from one another, this

represents a sort of culture that is passed on. Pigs are also clean, loyal and

affectionate animals that have good memories and learn from trial anderror.

Cows


42/53

Cows

Professor Christine Nicol at BristolUniversity in

the United Kingdom showed that cows have a strong,

complex emotional life, feeling pain, fear and anxiety

and also worrying about the future

Professor John Webster, also of Bristol University, hasdocumented how cows form friendships with one

another.


43/53

Chickens

Many studies have been conducted on chickens and other

birds, and on this topic professor of neuroscience and animalbehavior at the University of New England Dr. Lesley Rogers

states, It is clear now that birds have cognitive capacities

equivalent to those of mammals, even primates.

Dr. Joy Mench a professor at the University of CaliforniasDepartment of Animal Sciences has shown that chickens

understand cause-and-effect relationships.


44/53

Fish

Dr. Donald Broom Professor of Animal Welfare and advisor to the British government has said Thescientific literature is quite clear. Anatomically, physiologically and biologically, the pain system in fish

is virtually the same as in birds and mammals.

Dr. Andrew Rowan adjunct professor at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, the fishs

brain also has receptors for the drug valium which is used for reducing anxiety in humans, thus it canbe concluded that fish also experience anxiety and stress.

According to research conducted By Dr. Culum Brown at Macquarie University, fish have the cognitiveabilities greater than or equal to primates and elephants, not only can they recognize individuals but

they can also use tools, learn and teach as well as form complex and intricate social relationships.

Research has also shown that fish can anticipate future adverse events and can even be trained to telltime.

Studies at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh showed that fish may rock back and forth when they feelphysical and mental pain, this is similar to the behavior seen in deeply shocked human or factory

farmed animals. Deep sea divers have also witnessed fish that follow the divers and enjoy being

petted much like a cat or dog.
