For the Animals
Animal farming involves cruelty and suffering
Beef cows, dairy cows, meat chickens, egg-laying chickens, and pigs endure immense suffering

For the Planet
Animal farming contributes to the climate crisis, air pollution, and land degradation
Livestock farming utilizes vast amounts of land and water inefficiently

Choosing veganism combats these destructive practices and helps preserve the environment

Saving Others
