Global meat consumption has increased from under 50 million tons annually to over 200 million tons in the last 50 years. The amount of animal manure produced in the U.S. is 130 times greater than the amount of human waste. This is causing আরো environmental and health problems than ever seen before. Here are 15 good reasons to stop eating meat (or at least cut down):
Health Reasons:
1. Lower risk of cancer. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has reported that vegetarians are less likely to get cancer দ্বারা 25 to 50 percent.
2. Lower risk of হৃদয় disease. Researchers Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn have a program that includes a vegetarian diet and is currently one of the few programs that has been proven to reverse হৃদয় disease. A vegetarian diet reduces cholesterol.
3. Lower risk of osteoporosis. Studies have shown that too much protein in our diet causes loss of bone calcium. Meat eaters generally get far আরো protein than they need অথবা can use.
4. Lower risk of kidney and gallstones. The calcium leached from the অস্থি দ্বারা the body's efforts to neutralize the acids produce দ্বারা too much protein intake can end up forming kidney stones and gall stones.
5. Factory farmed জন্তু জানোয়ার carry disease. According to the FDA poultry is the number one উৎস of food-borne illness. Despite the heavy use of pesticides and antibiotics, up to 60% percent of chickens sold at the সুপারমার্কেট are infected with live salmonella bacteria. Approximately 30% of all pork products are contaminated with toxoplasmosis. We are increasingly at risk from highly contagious diseases like Mad Cow Disease and Foot and Mouth disease in মেষ and cattle.
6. Factory-farmed জন্তু জানোয়ার contain toxic chemicals. Meat contains accumulations of pesticides and other chemicals up to 14 times আরো concentrated than those in plant foods. Half of all antibiotics used in the U.S. are used in farm জন্তু জানোয়ার and 90% of those are not used to treat infections but are instead used as growth promoters.
Environmental Reasons:
7. Inefficient use of agriculture. 70% of U.S. grain production is used to feed farm animals. The grains and soybeans fed to জন্তু জানোয়ার to produce the amount of meat consumed দ্বারা the average American in one বছর could feed seven people for the same period.
8. Inefficient use of water. It takes 2640 gallons of water to produce one pound of edible beef. The water used to raise জন্তু জানোয়ার for খাবার is আরো than half the water used in the United States.
9. Inefficient use of energy.
Calories of fossil fuel needed to produce 1 calorie of protein in beef: 28.
Calories of fossil fuel needed to produce 1 calorie of protein in soybeans: 2.
10. Environmental Pollution. Raising জন্তু জানোয়ার for খাবার is the biggest polluter of our water and topsoil. Factory farm animal waste pollutes the ground and groundwater horribly.
11. Destruction of natural habitat. It takes আরো land to raise জন্তু জানোয়ার for খাবার than it does to produce the equivalent nutritional value দ্বারা raising edible plants. Rain forests are being destroyed to make room for huge cattle ranches. Coyotes and other জন্তু জানোয়ার are poisoned and shot দ্বারা western cattle ranchers who consider federal land to be their land for grazing.
Animal Rights Reasons:
12. জন্তু জানোয়ার on factory farms are over-crowded. They spend their brief lives in crowded and ammonia-filled conditions, many of them so cramped that they can't even turn around অথবা spread a wing.
13. জন্তু জানোয়ার on factory farms are tortured. Within days of birth, for example, chickens have their beaks seared off with a hot blade. জন্তু জানোয়ার are hung upside down and their throats are sliced open, often while they're fully conscious.
14. জন্তু জানোয়ার on factory farms are treated like machines. They are pumped up with drugs, fed their own waste and forced to grow অথবা produce as fast as possible. They are subjected to 24-hour artificial lighting while being crammed into tiny cages one on শীর্ষ of the other to make it easier to harvest.
15. We don't need to eat animals! Most of us in the U.S. don't eat জন্তু জানোয়ার because we must in order to survive. We eat them because we want to. We are subjecting জন্তু জানোয়ার to torture, damaging the environment unnecessarily and subjecting ourselves to greater risk of disease just to satisfy a desire, not a need.
আপনি can get a totally balanced diet without eating meat. All vegetables contain protein and too much protein consumption is unhealthy. Grains, legumes and soybeans contain plenty of protein. Vegetarian foods do not have to be boring. Spice it up! For example, veggies and ধান with some teriyaki sauce is delicious and as filling as any meat dish আপনি can think of while being far আরো healthy for আপনি and easier on জন্তু জানোয়ার and the environment. Why not give a vegetarian diet a try and give our environment a break. Your body will thank আপনি and so will the Earth!

ভালুক Baiting is cruel entertainment and a money-maker for some people in Pakistan. ভালুক baiting requires bears to have their claws and teeth removed, then they are chained to a post being forced to fight off several dogs. When the fighting is over, bears usually come out with ripped mouths and noses.

I found a fox, caught দ্বারা the leg
In a toothed gin, torn from its peg,
And dragged, God knows how far, in pain.
Such torment could not plead in vain,
He looked at me, I looked at him.
With iron jaw-teeth in his limb.
"Come, little son," I said, "Let be.....
Don't bite me, while I set আপনি free."
But much I feared that in the pang
Of helping, I should feel a fang
In hand অথবা face .......
but must is must .........
And he had প্রদত্ত me his trust.
So down I knelt there in the mud
And loosed those jaws all mud and blood.
And he, exhausted, crept, set free,
Into the shade, away from me;
The leg not broken ......
Then, beyond,
That জিন went plonk into the pond.
