The life of an animal in a factory farm

is characterised by acute deprivation,

stress, and disease. Hundreds of millions

of animals are forced to live in cages

just barely larger than their own bodies.

While one species may be caged alone

without any social contact, another

species may be crowded so tightly

together that they fall prey to stress-

induced cannibalism the victims of

factory farms exist in a relentless state

of d istress.

One of the best things modern animal

agriculture has going for it is that most

people... havent a clue how animals are

raised and processed... If most urban

meat-eaters were to visit an industrial

broiler house, to see how the birds are

raised, and could see the birds being

harvested and then being processed

in a poultry processing plant, some,

perhaps many of them, would swear off

eating chicken and perhaps all meat.

For modern animal agriculture, the

less the consumer knows about whats

happening before the meat hits the

plate, the better.

using the accumulated knowledge

Anyone who has studied the social life of

birds carefully will know that theirs is a

subtle and complex world, where food

and water are only a small part of their

behavioural needs. The brain of each

bird is programmed with a complicated

set of drives and responses that set it on

the path to a life full of special territorial,

nesting, roosting, grooming, parental,

aggressive and sexual activities in

addition to the simple feeding behaviour.

All these are denied the battery hens.

Various philosophers and religious

leaders tried to convince their disciples

and followers that animals are nothing

more than machines without a soul,

without feelings. However, anyone who

has ever lived with an animal be it adog, a bird, or even a mouse knows

that this theory is a brazen lie, invented

to justify cruelty.

Humans who enslave,

castrate, experiment on, and

fillet other animals have

had an understandable penchant

for pretending animals do not feel pain.

A sharp distinction between humans and

animals is essential if we are to bend

them to our will, make them work for

us, wear them, eat them without anydisquieting tinges of guilt or regret.

It is unseemly of us, who often behave

so unfeelingly toward other animals, to

contend that only humans can suffer.

The behavior of other animals renders

such pretensions specious. They are just

too much like us.

W i vgim?Veganism is a way of living which

excludes all forms of exploitation of,

and cruelty to, the animal kingdom,

and includes a reverence for life. It

applies to the practice of living on

the products of the plant kingdom to

the exclusion of meat, fish, fowl, eggs,

honey, animal milk and its derivatives,

and encourages the use of alternatives

for all commodities derived wholly or

in part from animals.

The bottom line is that you can eat a

plant-based diet with great pleasure and

satisfaction . But making the transition

is a challenge. There are psychological

barriers and practical ones. It takes

time and effort. You may not get support

from your friends and family. But the

benefits are nothing short of

miraculous. And youll be

amazed at how easy it

becomes once you form

new habits

When I met my first vegetarian,

he told me he had not eaten meat for

fourteen years.

I looked at him as if he had

managed to hold his breath

that entire time.

Today I know there is

nothing rigorous or

strange about eating a

diet that excludes meat.

When non-vegetarians say that human

problems come first I cannot help

wondering what exactly it is that

they are doing for human beings that

compels them to continue to support

the wasteful, ruthless exploitation of

farm animals.

I think everybody has that capacity

to stop and think and say,

If I knew you, I wouldnt eat you.

And in some ways, it really is that simple.
