vegetarian : noun:

-A person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

Being vegetarian for me is more then not eating meat or by products of an animal. Its more of a changing experience, a step further, a feeling of goodness to me in this chaotic world. Knowing that I'm living my life as a better person & eating healthier, shows me that I can make a difference. It might not make a serious impact to this earth, but if we open our minds and see pass the lies, you can see that everything isn't so perfect. I get questions, ignorant questions, questions that can be answered if you take the time to see and research why people become vegetarian. I'm vegetarian because of the cruelty & torture an animal, a cow, a pig, & a chicken receives in the Meat Industry & Animal Testing. To brutally kill in animal for your enjoyment, to eat the flesh for your pleasure, or to be cruel; is something I couldn't do. Animals are treated as nothing but meat machines and die a painful slow death. [Read below to see why]

• -Dairy Cows- The 9 million cows living on dairy farms in the United States spend most of their lives in large sheds or on feces-caked mud lots, where disease is rampant.3 Cows raised for their milk are repeatedly impregnated. Their babies (1 day old) are taken away so that humans can drink the milk intended for the calves. When their exhausted bodies can no longer provide enough milk, they are sent to slaughter and ground up for hamburgers.

• -Veal Calves- Male calves (byproducts of the dairy industry) are generally taken from their mothers when they are less than 1 day old.¹⁰ The calves are then put into dark, tiny crates, where they are kept almost completely immobilized so that their flesh stays tender. The calves are fed a liquid diet that is low in iron and has little nutritive value in order to make their flesh white. This heinous treatment makes the calves ill, and they frequently suffer from anemia, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Frightened, sick, and alone, these calves are killed after only a few months of life. Veal is the flesh of a tortured, sick baby cow, and a byproduct of the milk industry.

• -Cattle- Male calves testicles are ripped from their scrotum's without pain relievers, and the horns of cows raised for beef are cut or burned off. After about a year of facing the elements, cows are shipped to an auction lot and then across hundreds of miles to massive feedlots feces- and mud-filled holding pens where they are crammed together by the thousands. Many arrive crippled or dead from the journey. Cattle raised for food are also pumped full of drugs to make them grow faster and keep them alive in these miserable conditions. Instead of taking sick cattle to see a veterinarian, many feedlot owners simply give the animals even higher doses of human-grade antibiotics in an attempt to keep them alive long enough to make it to the slaughterhouse.

[There is a hunk of veal in every glass of milk. Every single veal calf in this country is a child of a dairy cow.]

• -Chickens- There are 9 billion chickens raised on factory farms each year in the U.S. never have the chance to do anything that is natural to them. Because the male chicks of egg-laying breeder hens are unable to lay eggs and are not bred to produce excessive flesh for the meat industry, they are killed. Every year, more than 100 million of these young birds are ground up alive or tossed into bags to suffocate. Chickens are slammed into small crates and trucked to the slaughterhouse through all weather extremes. Hundreds of millions suffer from broken wings and legs from rough handling, and millions die from the stress of the journey. At the slaughterhouse, their legs are snapped into shackles, their throats are cut, and they are immersed in scalding hot water to remove their feathers. Because they have no federal legal protection (birds are exempt from the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act), most are still conscious when their throats are cut open, and many are literally scalded to death in the feather-removal tanks after missing the throat cutter.

• -Broiler Chickens- Chickens raised for their flesh, called broilers by the chicken industry, spend their entire lives in filthy sheds with tens of thousands of other birds, where intense crowding and confinement lead to outbreaks of disease. They are bred and drugged to grow so large so quickly that their legs and organs cant keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformities common. Many become crippled under their own weight and eventually die because they cant reach the water nozzles. When they are only 6 or 7 weeks old, they are crammed into cages and trucked to slaughter.

• -Laying Hens- Birds exploited for their eggs, called laying hens by the industry, are crammed together in wire cages where they don't even have enough room to spread a single wing. The cages are stacked on top of each other, and the excrement from chickens in the higher cages constantly falls on those below. The birds have part of their sensitive beaks cut off so that they wont peck each other as a result of the frustration created by the unnatural confinement. After their bodies are exhausted and their production drops, they are shipped to slaughter, generally to be turned into chicken soup or cat or dog food because their flesh is too bruised and battered to be used for much else.

[isn't that cruel? Its not done yet. Theres so much more. Please read on.]

• -Pigs- Most people rarely have the opportunity to interact with these outgoing, sensitive animals because 97 percent of pigs in United States today are raised on factory farms. These pigs spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy warehouses, under constant stress from the intense confinement and denied everything that is natural to them. According to industry reports, more than 1 million pigs die in transport each year, and an additional 420,000 are crippled by the time they arrive at the slaughterhouse.^{3, 4} Many are still fully conscious when they are immersed in scalding water for hair removal.

• -Piglets- As piglets, they are taken away from their mothers when they are less than 1 month old; their tails are cut off, some of their teeth are cut off, and the males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotum's (castration), all without any pain relief. They spend their entire lives in overcrowded pens on a tiny slab of filthy concrete.

• -Breeding sows- Spend their entire miserable lives in tiny metal crates where they can't even turn around. Shortly after giving birth, they are once again forcibly impregnated. This cycle continues for years until their bodies finally give out and they are sent to be killed. When the time comes for slaughter, these smart and sensitive animals are forced onto transport trucks that travel for many miles through all weather extremes many die of heat exhaustion in the summer and arrive frozen to the inside of the truck in the winter.

[Any crippled/weakest piglet is killed with throwing them down to the ground head first. Which cause brain damage & seizures. Other pigs stand by in fear as they watch their relatives out of the bunch get murdered & tortured.]

• -Fish- On aqua farms spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy enclosures, and many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries. Conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40 percent of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food. In short, fish farms bring suffering and ecological devastation everywhere they go. Aqua farms squander resources it can take 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce just 1 pound of farmed fish and pollute the environment with tons of fish feces, antibiotic-laden fish feed, and diseased fish carcasses.

This is all what takes place in the meat industry. So much cruelty just for your desire of flesh & the taste of meat. People say, Oh this is only a minority of people who practice this. Honestly it isn't. It happens in most slaughter houses and farm animals raised for meat. Don't act like its not happening, because it is. As your reading this, or driving, or even sleeping at night; its happening to an innocent animal that well never see the day light or the sense of freedom. If you have read this far, I couldn't say bless you because I'm atheist. lol. But thanks for taking the time to read. And if it inspired you enough to go vegetarian, at least try. Don't rush into it, start with a stepping stone towards becoming a vegetarian such a pescatarian, or lacto-ovo vegetarian. It well give you an idea and a sense of being vegetarian. After high school is over for me, I plan becoming a full vegan during college. For more information, please visit Goveg.com or Peta.org to learn more.

• Know your facts!
  
  * Twenty-thousand pounds of potatoes can be grown on one acre of land, but only 165 pounds of beef can be produced in the same space.
  
  * Rainforest's, vital to earth's oxygen supply, are being destroyed at an alarming rate - the top cause is the raising of animals for food.
  
  * Forty-five percent of the total land in this country is used to raise animals for food or crops to feed these animals.
  
  * A carnivorous diet requires 4200 gallons of water per day; a vegetarian one, 300 gallons per day.
  
  * Of the 20 million tons of plant protein given to raise cows only 2 million tons of protein are used. That means 18 tons of plant protein are wasted! The 20 million tons of plant protein could have reduced 90% of the world's yearly protein deficit for humans.
  
  * Being a vegetarian would alleviate human starvation and in return there would be an increase in growth of wild animals without additional sufferings on humans or any other animals.
  
  * By choosing the vegetarian or vegan alternative, the land used originally for farm animals would feed more people off of plant protein.
  
  * Plants yield 10 times more protein per acre than meat.
  
  * Chickens are raised in crowded, unnatural environments. There are usually 3,000 or more in one pen. The birds are not able to move about freely or even spread their wings due to the over crowding. They use "nests" made out of metal and they are bred by unnatural means.
  
  * In order for hens to lay mass amounts of eggs, artificial light is on 17 hours a day. Each hen averages about 300 eggs per year. Once a hen's egg production declines they are slaughtered. Most hens live an average of 5 to 6 years.
  
  * Veal calf's are raised in cages on an anemic diet. The cages are so small that the calves cannot stand or even move in order to clean themselves. The veal calves are kept in the dark most of their lives within the cages. They are subjected to a cruel and horrid death.
  
  * More than 7 billion animals die yearly for human consumption.
  
  * Cows contribute to global warming otherwise known as the "greenhouse effect" due to the amount of fossil fuels it takes to maintain a meat diet. It takes three times more fuel than it does to produce a vegetarian diet.
  
  * Most food animals are killed by the process of Kosher slaughter. Kosher slaughter involves hanging an animal particularly a cow or pig by its hooves. The animal's neck is cut without any kind of anesthesia. The animal hangs and bleeds to death.
  
  * 260 million acres of forest in the ....United States.... have been cleared in order to maintain a meat- centered diet.
  
  * 55 square feet of rain forest is destroyed in order to produce one quarter of a pound of rain forest beef.
  
  * 1,000 rain forest species become extinct every year because people destroy the rain forest for cattle grazing.
  
  * A man who eats meat has a 50% greater chance of dying from a heart attack. A man who does not eat meat only has a 15% chance of dying from a heart attack.
  
  * Women who eat eggs 3 times or more a week have a risk 3 times higher of developing ovarian cancer than those women who consume eggs less than once a week.
  
  * Women who consume meat on a daily basis have 3.8 times the risk of developing breast cancer than women who eat meat less than once a week.
