Social Indifference... Print E-mail

Why is cruelty to a puppy appalling and cruelty to livestock by the billions a matter of social indifference?

This question is posed by former speechwriter for president George W. Bush, Matthew Scully in his essay on ‘Fear Factories’. “We cannot just take from these creatures, we must give them something in return. We owe them a merciful death, and we owe them a merciful life.”

Read Scully’s book: Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy.

Water Footprint

On World Water Day (22nd March) and on every other day, for that matter, we need to remember that meat-eating carries a giant water footprint.
Did you know? It takes 13 million litres of water to raise and convert one cow or ox into meat!
Did you know? To produce one portion of beef (250g) requires the same amount of drinking water that one person needs (at one litre a day) for 34 years of life!
