I have been spun into the world of animal activism after seeing the horrors that occur for animals everywhere. I either need to stand up and say something and do something about this cruelty or I need to be quiet and silently die inside. I can not stand what happens in our world. I want to love this world, but I can't knowing this incredible pain and suffering is going on every minute of every day.

Ariel commented on the article |Well it is very convenient not to believe it, that is how we all can keep behaving in ways that suite our desires, but not necessarily the needs of the planet and of others.

One major thing The Inconvenient Truth failed to mention is that meat eating is the largest contributor to global warming. Al Gore, recently stated that he left this out as he knew people would be resistant to the message. The true inconvenient truth is that meat is raising planetary temperatures more than tranportation.
I would advise any person who really cares about the planet to keep the taters and lose the meat.
"Last month, the United Nations published a report on livestock and the environment with a stunning conclusion: "The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." It turns out that raising animals for food is a primary cause of land degradation, air pollution, water shortage, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and not least of all, global warming."

I am a straight person too. But I think what this article says is that a larger percentage of people who are gay care about the planet than straight people.
When I actually think about it, it makes sense. You never hear about gay men (that I know of) going out and getting their kicks out of killing animals or hunting down defenseless deer. It is perhaps the heterosexual male ego that needs to perform these ritualistic acts to remind themselves of their manliness.

This is great news! I often wonder how societies and individuals who are oppressed would then go and oppress the next group of weaker individuals on the planet. Like women for example who have always been oppressed and yet now feel ok with oppressing the next vulnerable victims such as animals. When will humanity learn to care for each other, the planet and all the other little beings out there who need compassion and care. We are just a bunch of large monkeys, why not act like intelligent, compassionate monkeys instead of useless, cruel human beings who take pleasure in hurting each other as well as all the other species and animals who are a little different. I am glad to hear that there is so much compassion in this group of people. Vegan for all life on earth.
