I’m Vegan Is Moral and Ethic Thing!

I’m Vegan Is Moral and Ethic Thing! Why would anyone want to become a vegan? There are many reasons but two that stand out are health and compassion for animals.

 

It is widely known that meat, dairy, and eggs clog the arteries and can lead to coronary artery disease, heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. Abstaining from these things will less the risk of these serious life-threatening health problems considerably.

The meat, dairy, and egg industries exploit and abuse animals. The cruelty is almost unimaginable. The fur and leather industries involve ripping skin from live animals. Even the harvesting of honey leads to death for many bees.

Let's see why some other people have chosen the vegan lifestyle in their own words.

Defending Vegan Diets — RDs Aim to Clear Up Common Misconceptions About Vegan Diets

What do comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, singer Alanis Morissette, and ultramarathoner Scott Jurek have in common? They’re all vegans, counting themselves among the estimated 1.4% of Americans who have committed themselves to a diet that excludes meat, poultry, fish and seafood, dairy products, and eggs.1 A survey conducted by the Vegetarian Resource Group, a Maryland-based nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on vegetarianism, found that only about one half as many people call themselves vegans as do those who refer to themselves as vegetarians.

But by all indications, interest in vegetarianism, of which veganism is a part, is growing. It may increase even more with the release of the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines, which for the first time may be placing a major emphasis on the importance of consuming a plant-based diet.

The Dairy Cow: The Most Overworked Mother On The Planet by EVOLVE! Campaigns

Posted in: Vegan,Video

The Dark Side of Diary (from Viva); Say No to Milk! Go VEG xxx

Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do—to nourish their young—but calves on dairy farms are taken away from their mothers when they are just 1 day old.

They are fed milk replacers (including cattle blood) so that their mothers' milk can be sold to humans.

Female cows are artificially inseminated shortly after their first birthdays.

After giving birth, they lactate for 10 months and are then inseminated again, continuing the cycle.

Maxine the Cow: Escape from Slaughter

Running for her life in the streets of Queens, NY, and with nothing to identify her as a sentient individual but instead, a sticker with a number that labeled her as just another food product in the assembly line at the slaughterhouse, a young cow was spared the butcher's knife. Rescued by Farm Sanctuary and named "Maxine," she will live out the rest of her days on luscious green pastures with other rescued animals, and will know that human compassion still exists somewhere in this world. There are many more Maxines to be saved, and doing your part in it is as easy as switching your diet to vegetarian. On average, every vegetarian saves the lives of 95 animals per year. That's over 7,000 lives in a lifetime. Let your life have left behind you the footsteps of compassion. Go to farmsanctuary.org for more information.

The Lives of Dairy Cows and Veal Calves in Australia

"My perspective of veganism was most affected by learning that the veal calf is a by-product of dairying, and that in essence there is a slice of veal in every glass of what I had thought was an innocuous white liquid - milk."
~Rynn Berry, quoted in Joanne Stepaniak, The Vegan Sourcebook, 1998

Mother and Baby

Like all mammals, cows only produce milk to feed their babies. In order to get the highest milk yield, farmers artificially inseminate their cows every year. After a pregnancy that lasts 9 months, the cow gives birth. Her calf is taken away from her shortly afterwards, generally at around just 12-24 hours after the birth, and sometimes even sooner. This causes great distress to boh the calf and the mother. Just like humans and many other mammals, cows have a strong bond between mother and baby. When her calf is taken away from her, a mother cow will bellow, sometimes for days, for the calf she will never see again. Instead of nourishing her baby, her milk will be extracted by a milking machine and sold.

Western Diet Woes: Food High in Fat, Meat and Sugar Fosters Bad Bacteria in Children

The diet of the West, high in animal products, fat, salt and sugar, is increasingly associated with wealth and development.

The growing middle and upper classes in China are causing meat consumption to skyrocket in that country. Those with more disposable income in characteristically poor places buy more imported, packaged and processed foods, which all tend to be higher in salt, sugar and fat. Meat becomes more of a staple than a luxury. In contrast, the poor of the developing world generally eat traditional diets that are high in fruit and vegetables.

How Free Is “Free-Range”?

“Just because it says free-range does not mean that it is welfare-friendly.”
—Dr. Charles Olentine, editor of Egg Industry magazine, an industry trade journal(1)

As concern grows over the way the meat, egg, and dairy industries treat the animals we eat, so does the number of animal products labeled “free-range.” What does this mean? Do “free-range” chickens, pigs, turkeys, and cows receive humane treatment? Are they slaughtered in less violent ways? While “free-range” practices may be less inhumane than the horrors animals are forced to endure on conventional factory farms, they are still very far from cruelty-free.

“Free-Range” Eggs

There is no inspection system for companies that label their eggs “free-range.”

The popular myth that “free-range” egg-laying hens enjoy fresh grass, bask in the sunlight, scratch the earth, sit on their nests, and engage in other natural habits is often just that: a myth. In many commercial “free-range” egg farms, hens are crowded inside windowless sheds with little more than a single, narrow exit leading to an enclosure, too small to accommodate all of the birds at once.

How about “Free-Range” Broiler Chickens? “Free-Range” Cows, Sheep, and Pigs?
