Eating meat

b. due to advancements in technology and medicine it has been possible to raise people's life expectancies and has caused our human population to increase to 7 billion. For thousands of years mankind has hunted as a way to survive, specifically in areas where crops have more difficulty in growing. Nevertheless hunting and large scale animal farming is not enough to supply the global demand for meat. Consequently meat has become a large product of production for large industries. It is a well known fact that all industries seek a large and increasing profit. To comply with these demands from both industry and consumers the global market has resorted to using cruel and inhumane methods to raise meat. The main meat that is consumed globally is chicken, beef, pork, and fish. To begin with let me just state that although we as humans believe we own everything, even our life partners, we do NOT own animals, they do not belong to us to chew up. Their life is in their hands, not ours. These animals are confined to extreamly tight spaces that are filthy and do not resemble in the slightest bit their natural green, sunfilled, rainfilled, beautyfilled enviornment. Needless to say these animals in factory farms do not experience the reality of life, a natural life, where they get to be born, raised, excersise, and reproduce to their will, and survival is their main task to keep them going. Besides cramming many animals are fed genetically modified crops or given drugs which have a cheaper quality and less nutrients that are actually needed for a healthy life. If their food is not modified then their genetics are modified to speed up their growth process so that production can increase at a faster rate. This can lead to several mutations and deficits in their bodies that can leave them crippled or with organ failures. Their veterinary care is poor and most animals are just left to suffer the consequences of their illness. Their slaughter involves cruel methods that no human would ever think ethically correct if done on humans. Clearly living under these conditions makes these animals stressed. When you eat meat you are also consuming all of their stress, therfore you aswell are introducing negative energy into your body which affects how you preform in your everyday life. The water and land used for the crops to keep these animals alive also constributes greatly to deforestation and a waste of resources therfore causing enviornmental damage. If you live in an area where vegetables and fruits grow, why eat meat? Why kill another animal for the sake of a taste in your diet? Would you eat your child? no. so why on earth would you eat a cow? just because a cow does not look like you doesnt mean a cow is not just as worthy. -.-
