SOME FACTS ON THE MEAT INDUSTRY 260 million acres of US forest have been destroyed to create cropland to grow feed for animals who we be killed for our meat-centered diet.

To produce a single hamburger patty, it takes enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough water for 17 showers.

85% of annual US topsoil loss is directly associated with raising livestock.

Livestock production consumes more than half of all water used for all purposes in the United States.

Excessive protein intake has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis, kidney disease, and cancer.

Women who consume meat daily have almost four times the chance of developing breast cancer as women who eat little or no meat.

Cattle feed routinely includes shredded newspaper, cement dust, feathers, sawdust, "plastic hay," and processed manure.

About 90% of oats, 85% of corn, and 80% of soybeans grown in the US are fed to livestock.

15 vegetarians can be fed on the amount of land needed to produce a meat-centered diet for one person. The food that could be saved if humans consumed plant foods directly would be enough to feed the starving people of the world many times over.

WAYS THAT ANIMALS ARE SLAUGHTERED

captive-bolt head stunning: a "pistol" is set against the animal's head and a metal bolt hits them in the head. Trying to shoot a terrified, struggling animal is difficult, and the bolt often misses its mark or is not of sufficient power to cause unconsciousness, thereby injuring the animal and causing tremendous pain. cardiac arrest stunning: kills the animals by stopping the heart, and animals can feel painful heart attack symptoms. Insufficient electric current results in conscious, yet paralyzed animals. electrical head stunning: this type of stunning is reversible, and animals can regain consciousness when they are not bled immediately due to handling problems. ritual slaughter: animals are fully conscious when their jugular veins are cut. This is supposed to cause immediate unconsciousness within five seconds, but often fails to do so. Animals are often shackled by one leg and hoisted upside down before their throats are cut, often resulting in broken bones.
