fight factory farms
help the most neglected animals
99% of our food comes from intensive conditions
corporations hide cruelty in sheds and feedlots, they want us to think of happy, small farms - a nostalgia for something that doesn't exist. Yes, there are small farms, but we eat 33 billion animals each year in the US, and 85 billion worldwide. That is not grown on a local farm.The rise of factory farms is tied with the rise of meat consumption and number of animals killed each year. Factory farms started in the 1950s - in 1961, the average person ate 6.6 chickens a year, in 2023, they ate 22.6. That's 528 vs 1808 lives over 80 years.
try reducing
Reducing is more important than perfection. If you can't give up cheese then don't. You can still make an effort like you do with recycling or driving less. Consider reduction strategies like:
meatless mondays
meatless before 6 pm
only when you eat out
only on the weekends or holidays
