  Also, I think you must realize that there are other reasons to go vegan than just the environment. For example, animals do not want to be killed for your taste buds.  They experience fear and intense pain much like humans do. They value life much like humans do.  If both these reasons are not enough to make you change your mind, then I think you need to do some more research before you say Stephanie or any one else is "wrong" about such things. Open your mind.

  
  

  Good luck on this journey!

  Save the Animals, Save the Planet: Blog Action Day '09, Climate Change

  Can anyone recommend a good film that talks about the environmental impact of consuming animal products? I am preparing a Critical Animal Studies Film Festival at my school and would like to touch upon this issue. Thanks!

  Will Our Beef Addiction Destroy the Amazon?

  Laurie,

  
  

  I agree with your post.  As both an environmental and animal right activist, I am increasingly frustrated with the disconnect between both these movements.  In some ways we have similar goals because the consumption of animal products is so inefficient and detrimental to the environment and our health.  Not only that, but also, humans see all other life on this earth as below the human race even though animals feel intense pain and value their lives.  (One would think this would be obvious to people?)  

  
  

  There is no such thing as cruelty-free meat.  No animal wants to be murdered, and as long as the fate of non-human animals is in the hands of humans, they will always be abused.
