Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Please pass this on to all animal lovers Almost all real animal lovers are willing to concede that animals are our equals in pain, suffering, fear and despair. Like us, they love life and fear death. And this is the exact reasoning behind the philosophy of veganism. Veganism involves minimizing harm to animals by not consuming them, but also not using products of the suffering of animals like leather, wool, silk, and pearls and well as abstaining from products of animal experimentation. The average non - vegetarian is responsible for the deaths of 70 land animals a year, and that does not even include aquatic animals. Imagine all the animals that you would save just by going vegan. And think of all the many more that would be saved if you could inspire your friends and relatives to follow your footsteps! Each year 56 million land animals are killed, just for food. Now that¹s way more than all the animals that are killed for fur, that are tested on, or used in entertainment all combined. Clearly one of the best ways we can help animals is to not eat them. It¹s not easy to live cruelty free in a consumerist, power based world? Don¹t quite know how to do it? Think it¹s too extreme? But still want to live in accordance with your values of compassion for all life? Then please come to the 11th International Vegan Festival, Murdeshwar, Karnataka, India, from Sep.30 to Oct.6, 2007 (http://ivu.org/veganfest/index.html <http://ivu.org/veganfest/index.html> ) For any enquiries call Shankar Narayan, +91 93411 28767.
