[Oe List ...] GoingVegan

[Tracy Longacre via OE]

Going vegan is a viable choice, but of course will do nothing to change the American beef industry. And be assured, the cruelty with which we raise animals (particularly cows, pigs & chickens) in factory farms is an almost exclusively American phenomenon.




Consumers who buy sustainably and humanely raised meat, eggs & milk are already supporting ethical farmers to the extent that more and more are getting into the market and reverting to better practices. And environmentally, the world needs ruminant animals. See Alan Savory, the Savory Institute or Holistic Manangement for more info on that.
