When are we going to wake up to the cost and damage caused by livestock farming?
We will never be able to feed the world with meat and to supply the vast quantities eaten in rich countries the animals have to be farmed intensively.
Watercourses are polluted with farm run-off, killing fish in the process. Now, with the foot-and-mouth outbreak, there is even talk of slaughtering our wildlife because it may carry the
disease. Are we to lose everything we hold dear just so people can have their pound of flesh?
Six million people in this country alone live perfectly healthily without meat. If you really are the animal lover you profess to be, stop eating animals.
