People of the world "Pay Attention and put that
hamburger down! Our carnivorous habits are hugely responsible for the dire
threat of global warming. Did you know that American giant corporations,
such as McDonalds, are the one of the largest contributors of deforestation
in order to gain more pasture for their owned and purchased livestock? It's
no longer just about our individual desires and habits... it's about our
very survival.

and videos are very graphic. Must be 18 or over to view these pages.
Shun meat, says UN climate chief;People should consider eating less
meat as a way of combating global warming and the rapid decline of peoples
health, says the UN's top climate scientist.
Watch The below Video about
"What you are Eating!"
Watch the below video and try and convince
yourself that humans are not barbaric and blood thirsty!
Help Us Help The Animals.
DoNotEatUs.org
Creatures that share our world...should not be
consumed by Intelligent People!
So, if you value yourself an intelligent person...stop your murder & cannibalism!!!
Why
we shouldn't eat meat!!!
Every year 45 billion animals are killed worldwide for human consumption. For
example, in Germany it is 332,100,000 roasting chickens, 40,200,000 pigs,
24,000,000 soup chickens, 20,300,000 turkeys, 14,200,000 ducks, 4,100,000 cows,
1,000,000 geese, 900,000 sheep or goats and 7,500 horses. And in the US the
numbers are even greater: In 2002, for example, a total of 10.1 billion animals
were killed and raised for food. These included for instance, 41 million cattle
and calves, 116 million pigs, 4.2 million sheep, 304 million turkeys, 25,6
million ducks, as well as 2,133 million broilers and 484 million laying hens.
There is no intelligent reason for this! Because: Eating meat is barbaric.
Eating meat makes you unhealthy.
Eating meat causes global suffering and global warming. Raising food animals
depletes our rain forest, poisons our water and pollutes our soil and air.
What has eyes, intelligent people do not eat.
Animals were created by the same forces that created us and are not here for our
dining.
Eating Meat from Murdered Animals Is Cruel & unhealthy!
Watch the below video and
tell me if you still think there is hope for mankind?
The
Animals Lament:
The Pig Ghetto: “In groups of 80 to 200 animals, we pigs are kept on gratings in
nearly constant darkness. We stand on split flooring with no straw on it, which
often leads to The Animals Lament damaged joints. We are produced as if in a
factory. The breeding sows are artificially inseminated in individual pens.
During their 15 weeks of pregnancy, they are kept vegetating in very dimly lit
tiny concrete stalls. To give birth they are tied up in special birthing pens.
They can hardly move, and can merely stand up and then lie down again. So it is
impossible for them to care for their young.”
This
small mammal deserves to live and be free the same as you, and me, as well as
our children. In the left photo doctors,
scientists, cut the skull off the money and left him with devices embedded in
his open brain. This is happening to tens of thousands of monkeys and other
animals around the globe. It is sic...sic...and serves no real medical
evaluation or purpose. They actually inserted steel wires into it's eyes during
the operation in making sure it did not move. I saw a video where the monkey was
actually scratching his brain.
The Hen “Torture Chamber”: “We laying hens
vegetate away our brief lives in Hen Torture Chamber windowless halls where we
live in group cages up to 8 stories high. Twenty-two hens share 1 square meter
of space; and the stench is unbearable. Already after 14-18 months of the hen
torture chamber, our egg-laying performance is not high enough, and so we land
in the soup pot. However, up to 20% of us do not even survive these 1 1/2
years: We die of stress, infection, bone disease, etc.”
Human beings are the only
animal to drink breast milk beyond infancy. Did you drink the cow's breast milk
that was meant for this baby calf that was taken away from its mother a few days
after birth. It was then butchered so a human cannibal could eat it's flesh!
The
Calf Prison: “We are shut into narrow wooden pens, The Calf Prison where we can
hardly move. Right up until our murder, which you call slaughter, we are not
given more than 1 square meter of space – this is how those who fatten us
maximize their profits. Instead of mother’s milk we get only a fatty, white
brew, consisting of skim-milk powder, tallow, whale fat and lots of salt. We get
terribly thirsty from all the salt and since we do not get any water, we drink
even more of the salty brew. In this way, we are fattened to our slaughtering
weight in a very short time. During our whole brief and lonely life, we never
even see a green meadow. We see the sun for the first time on our way to the
slaughterhouse.”
Turkey Death by Bleeding: “We turkeys in factory farming suffer even more than
Turkey Death Cell chickens being fattened for slaughter. Since our breast is
the most desirable and expensive piece, our skeleton, legs and ligaments are
bent under the weight of our flesh because they cannot bear the accelerated weight
of our hormonal growth. At the end of our 22-week lives, we slide around
in our own increment or we lie on our extra-wide and heavy breast. Just like the
hen torture chambers, our beaks and those of ducks are cut off without
anesthesia. Pain and horrendous irritation are the result - comparable to having
your human lips cut off.”
The
Animals Lament;
Miserable transport: “You transport us thousands of kilometers all through the
continent. We are crammed into the tightest and most miserable transport space
for days, without water, without food, and in unbearable heat, in icy
cold, with broken bones and/or open wounds. Many of us do not survive the
transportation. We die of thirst; we are crushed; we die of severe injuries or
from panic and stress. When unloading at the slaughterhouse, many of us are so
weak that we can’t even walk 100 meters further. In impatience and sheer
cruelty, and in making move more quickly, we are prodded with metal hooks in the
mouth, eyes or anus.”
Do you really want to eat such disgusting carcasses?
Brutality in the Slaughterhouse: “When the butchers slit our throats, cut us
wide open, and saw off our legs we are often still conscious. We bellow on the
hooks; we twitch in death anxiety and under hellish pain. And the animals next
in line have to witness the final agonies of their brothers and sisters, knowing
that it will be exactly the same for them. But you know no mercy. Being a
butcher may be just a job to you, but you are murdering us simply because humans
want to eat us!"
The Execution: “You try to numb us with electric tongs. The pain shoots
through our head, our whole body, like a bolt of lightening. You think we don’t
feel anything, when after the electric shock you throw us into boiling water to
burn the hair and soften our hides for skinning. But your numbing doesn’t work
for very long. We experience tormenting pain, panic and shock when our lungs
fill with boiling hot water ...a terrible death!”
The Hen “Torture Chamber”: “We laying hens
vegetate away our brief lives in Hen Torture Chamber windowless halls where we
live in group cages up to 8 stories high. Twenty-two hens share 1 square meter
of space; and the stench is unbearable. Already after 14-18 months of the hen
torture chamber, our egg-laying performance is not high enough, and so we land
in the soup pot. However, up to 20% of us do not even survive these 1 1/2
years: We die of stress, infection, bone disease, etc.”
Hunting
Terror from Ambush: “The hunters set up a trap and lure us wild pigs with feed
bait, in order to better
shoot us and do so comfortably and cowardly from outside the confines of the
trap. We die seldom free of pain and it is never a ”quick death.” Some of my
friends and relatives are shot and wounded in the open fields with. ‘Expansion
bullets’ which tear blood and intestines out of our severely wounded bodies.
Murder is never humane or justified.
Deer
Hunter; “Over 60% of the deer you shoot while hunting do not die immediately.
Many drag themselves along through the forest for hours and days, severely
injured and even with their intestines hanging out. Fawns watch helplessly as
their mothers & fathers bleed to death.”
Video of Hunters 'Legalized
Terrorists'
Bear Hunting Video; Nothing is safe from the
ravages of mankind. In the video the hunter actually stated many times how
beautiful the bear was after he killed it. No asshole...it was beautiful
before you killed it!
From Bier Rabbit;
“A special favorite for you demented humans is your cruel enjoyment from hunting us field hares. Even though we can run very fast, we don’t have a chance in
outrunning your bullets. When the hunter’s round of buckshot hits our tiny
bodies we scream in pain, not unlike a little human child. Many shot hares turn
several somersaults in the air, screaming from pain, while slowly and painfully
bleeding to death.”
Health and the consumption of meat, sausage, fish and poultry is a risk factor for numerous
illnesses. The one who wants to live a healthy life should avoid these products.
Seen from a dietary-physiological point of view, meat is a superfluous form of
nutrition. There is no longer any doubt among experts that one’s dietary needs
can met with a vegetarian diet. This is true for all ages With some diseases,
for example, high blood pressure, rheumatism or metabolic disorders, a
vegetarian way of life is the most sensible therapeutic measure there is. How
each person wants to decide about eating meat is up to him, but he should be
clear about the consequences.
If you eat animals...you're a
cannibal. Video of Ghana Steer Slaughter
Eating meat makes you sick and gives you;
Cancer, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Clogged Arteries, Strokes and Heart attacks.
• Meat and Diabetes:
A high consumption of saturated fatty acids can lead to an insulin resistance
and encourages the development of diabetes mellitus. Animal products generally
contain a lot of saturated fatty acids.
• Meat and Obesity:
Saturated fatty acids further the development of being overweight. Being
overweight is a risk factor for heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and
circulatory disorders.
• Meat and Bones:
On the average, meat products contain more phosphorus then calcium. A raised
phosphorus/calcium ratio results in an increased release of calcium from the
bones. As some studies have shown, there is a close relationship between a high
dietary consumption of phosphates and a raised risk of osteoporosis and broken
bones.
• Meat and Cancer:
The National Institute of Health, the largest medical research institution in
the world, determined in 2001 an increased risk of cancer with the consumption
of red meat. Argentina and Uruguay are some of the world’s largest consumers of
beef and also belong to the countries with the highest rates of breast and colon
cancer.
A study by the University of Minnesota published in September 2002 shows that
the consumption of barbecued red meat promotes the development of pancreatic
cancer.
• Meat and Inflammation and Pain: Animal
products contain high levels of arachidonic acid, which forms inflammatory
substances. These can lead to the development of neuro dermatitis, inflammation
of the small intestines or colon, asthma, arthritis and rheumatism.
• Meat and Heart Attacks and Arteriosclerosis: A too-high intake of
iron brought on by the consumption of red meat is a dangerous source of free
radicals that damage the blood vessels. The risk of a heart attack increases,
particularly with men.
• Meat and Depression:
Meat has a negative effect on the psyche. A study in 1998 showed an increased
occurrence of anxiety and depression in meat eaters in comparison to
vegetarians.
• Meat and Intelligence?
A diet rich in animal protein leads to an increase in cortisone in the blood
plasma and saliva. A
chronically
raised concentration of cortisone damages the hippocampus, which leads to a
clear deterioration of memory. According to a study by the Loma Linda University
in California, meat-eaters have twice as high a risk of developing dementia,
Alzheimer and additional brain, as well as liver, and other organ disorders.
Cancer is also prevalent in meat eaters.
The consumption of meat causes needless global suffering and world hunger &
extreme environmental pollution.
Causes of Global Suffering; 55 billion “slaughter animals” eat 40% of the
worldwide grain harvest, which lands in the factory farms of industrial nations,
depriving millions of grain.
In order to “produce” 1 kilo of beef, you need 9 kilos
of grain.
The poor nations are coerced and even forced to sell their grain for animal feed
to satisfy the bloodthirstiness of meat eaters. We import 60% of the animal feed
used in factory farming (grain, soybeans, peanuts, etc.) from developing
countries.
For a 200 gram steak, up to 2 kilos of grain are used as animal feed. These 2
kilos of grain would satisfy the hunger of 8 children a day, in which 40,000 of
children starve to death every day!
50 million people starve to death every year! If the industrial countries
would reduce their meat consumption by a mere 10%, 100 million additional people
could be fed. No one has to starve!
“The rich man’s cow eats the poor man’s bread.”
Solid and Liquid Manures: The production of 1 kilo pork generates ca. 15
kilos of liquid manure – US farm animals produce 1.4 billion tons of solid
manure per year – 130 times the amount produced by the human population. The
nitrates contained in it pollutes the soil, the air and groundwater. The ammonia
fumes from manure and slurry is a major contributor to the development of acid
rain and dying forests.
Greenhouse Effect: The production of meat releases great quantities of
CO2, especially through the burning of the rain forests for hamburger chains.
Aside from this, cows produce 100 million tons of methane annually – 20% of the
entire emission of this highly poisonous gas.
Rain Forests: Every two
seconds an area of forest the size of a football field is destroyed – in great
part for planting pastures. 5 square meters of rain forest are cut down to
produce one hamburger. The consequences of this destruction for the water and
climate cycles of the Earth cannot yet be estimated.
Soil Erosion: The percentage of soil erosion
caused by the production of meat and milk is 85% - that is a total of 24 billion
tons every year.
Raw Materials: One third of all raw
materials are consumed by factory farming; such as, plant foods, fossil fuels,
wood and minerals.
Drinking Water: 50% of the entire
consumption of drinking water is accounted for in factory farming. For the
production of 1 kilo of meat, 100 times more water is used on the average than
for the production of 1 kilo of grain or vegetables. And yet, according to the
United Nation more than 1.4 billion people in the world do not have access to
safe drinking water. An average cow drinks in excess of 40 liters of water a
day...everyday! The urine and waste are the main contaminates found in soil and
water tables. The bacteria causes E-Coli, which sickens or kills millions of
humans each year.
What has eyes, intelligent people do not eat!
Quotes
from great minds: Albert Einstein: physicist Albert Einstein.
“Nothing will increase the chances of survival for life on Earth as much as the
evolution to a vegetarian diet.”
Thomas Alva Edison: inventor of the light-bulb: “I am a vegetarian as well as a
passionate anti-alcoholic, so I can thus make better use of my brain.”
Leo Tolstoy: author: “Eating meat is a left-over of the greatest brutality; the
transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of
enlightenment.”
Leonardo
da Vinci, universal genius: Leonardo da Vinci quote; “Man is truly the king of
all animals, because his cruelty surpasses theirs. We live from the death of
others. We are walking graves!”
Brian Adams, singer: “I have been vegetarian for twelve years. And I have never
been seriously ill. Vegetarian food strengthens the immune system. It is a fact
that meat makes you sick.”
Mahatma Gandhi, Nobel Prize winner: Mahatma Gandhi; “I think that spiritual
growth compels us at a certain point to stop killing our fellow creatures for
the satisfaction of our physical wants.”
Volker Elis Pilgrim, author: “The meat we eat is a carcass that is at least 2 to
5 days old.”
Albert Schweitzer, physician, Nobel Peace Prize: “My view is that we stand up
for treating the animals in a considerate way, by completely renouncing the
eating of meat and also by loudly speaking out against it. This is what I do
myself. And in this way many a one becomes aware of a problem that was put
forward so late.”
Paul McCartney: “One may not eat what has a face.”
Wilhelm
Busch, author: Wilhelm Busch“ A true human culture will only exist when not only
human gluttony, but all eating of meat is considered cannibalism.”
George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright; Nobel Prize winner 1950:
“Animals are my
friends – and I don’t eat my friends!”
Humans claim to have a soul, but do they really?
We even slaughter our horses, dogs and cats for food.
Video of Slaughtered Horses
Man's Callous Slaughter Of Animals
(If a person can do this to an animal...they could do it to a human)
Camel Slaughter in the streets of
Pakistan (Consider that these people have nuclear weapons)
“In every animal and all of nature as well, the struggle of
specie survival are present: If
you believe in God, the omnipresent universal eternal Spirit, the
All-intelligence, then if you processed just a little heart for nature you can
sense in the expression of an animal, or in the beauty of a plant, the grandeur
of a snowcapped mountain...the song of a bird, or a lake, a waterfall, a
white-sand beach and so much more...the Earth is a true
paradise and our only home.
Anyone who has ever cared for an animal feels that internally he has grown
richer and more conscious of nature. But anyone who hunts and murders animals or builds meat factories and
slaughterhouses, or who condones the consuming the flesh of other earthy
species...that person’s consciousness will grow ever more narrow, as they are impoverished in
their soul.
