Veganism & Animal Rights

Being an animal activist is a very important way of showing that you care about the planet and it's creatures. Millions of animals are tortured and killed every year purely for human consumption, for the use in products, and for their fur. The way the animals are treated is inexcusable. They are confined to minute sized cages where they are unable to turn around or spread their wings and legs. They are pumped with hormones to increase growth faster, seperated from their families, and fed inadequate feed and water. Their lives are miserable and the animals develop vices like knawing at cage bars and nipping themselves because they are driven to madness by their living conditions.
Most of society remains blissfully ignorant to the way animals are treated. They dont care where their meat and other animals products come from. By becoming vegan, you decrease the demand for animal products, which in turn decreased the supply.
If veganism is too hardcore to start, being vegetarian is nearly as effective, and alot easier.
Even just cutting your meat consumption in half helps.
Household products like shampoo, lotion, makeup, may contain glyercine which is derived from animal fats. Think about it, do you really want animal fats all over yourself? Also, gelatin is an ingredient in many products, which is made from ground up animal bones and hooves. These things are unneeded, there are other ingredients and componants that can be used.
Animals have been exploited for far too long. They are used in circus performances and entertainment. They are scalded alive, skinned alive, beat over the head, their throats slit while still conscious. This is intollerable. How can the human race accept and continue to perform this heartless and cruel behaviour?
You can do your part to stop animal cruely easily, it takes as little as not eating meat or using products derived from animals. Its not difficult. Its the healthy way to live; almost all diseases can be linked back to the consumption of meat and dairy.
By taking small steps you can begin to stop animal exploitation. Do your part.
