See this fascinating video to realise that 'farm' animals are highly sentient creature, able to experience pleasure and misery just as we do.
Woolworths in South Africa is one of the first supermarkets in the world to take a giant step forward for the hens that lay our eggs, by banning battery eggs in all it's stores nationwide. "From now on", says Woolworths' chief Simon Susman in March 2004, "no Woolworths laying hen will ever have lived or spent any of her life in a cage."

It is believed that our relationship with dogs started 15 000 years ago when we first started to domesticate the cubs of wolves. Through the ages, we have developed a bond with dogs that is often closer than with any other animal. Yet, they have become victims of human neglect and abuse.

This video examines the plight of dogs in the world today and points to how to change this into a mutually beneficial relationship.

This video features Professor Wangari Maathai, the first woman in Africa to receive the Nobel Peace prize, 2005.

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!
