Trump and climate change

I am sad, surprised, horrified
that Americans have chosen Donald Trump for president
One of the things that worry me the most
is his position on climate change...
so today I wrote on Facebook:

You know who is in more denial than Trump voters?
And is hurting our planet more than Trump?
Just look around,:
people not willing to accept that eating animals
is destroying our planet.

Please read this article
news.vice.com/article/meat-is-murder-on-the-climate-anyway
and then read some of the horrible comments and attacks of meat-eaters on vegans,
tell me this doesn't sound Trump-like,
yet, every day we can make great choices to help our planet
and not hurt others when choosing a vegan life,
but we stand stubborn,
we stand racist against animals (speciesists)
and we stand utterly cruel!

Help our planet!
Stop the violence!
Go Vegan!

Farm Sanctuary and Gentle Barn

This past Sunday I had the joy to travel
to Acton, California, to visit 2 animal sanctuaries.
Farm Sanctuary and Gentle Farm
are places where rescued farmed animals live
in peace, not worried about being eaten by humans.

Most animals living on these places have been
rescued from slaughter houses, or fallen from
a slaughter truck, or horse racing, etc.

Seeing real animals ALIVE makes the connection
between your brain and your heart:
How can we eat these beautiful gentle creatures?
Most cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats and sheep
were as kind and gentle as our pet animals, cats & dogs.

Here some pictures & videos, but more coming soon!

Killing Animals is Killing the Planet!

Please read this article by Mercy for Animals

by Sarah Von Alt - December 7, 2015

Believe it or not, many people who care about the environment still have no idea that raising animals for food is so incredibly destructive.

Consider some of these facts:

• Animal agriculture uses a whopping 56 percent of water in the United States. In fact, just one hamburger requires 660 gallons of water to produce—the equivalent of 2 months’ worth of showers.
• Because animals are so densely packed on today's industrial farms, they produce more manure than can be absorbed by the land as fertilizer. The runoff from these facilities grossly contaminates rivers and ground water.
• Animal agriculture is culpable for nearly 91 percent of Amazon destruction according to The World Bank.
• Raising animals for food (including land for grazing and growing feed crops) now uses over one-thirdof the earth’s landmass.
• Factory farms have created more than 500 nitrogen-flooded dead zones throughout the world’s oceans.
• Raising animals for food produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all of the cars, planes, and other forms of transportation combined
• Animals raised for food produce 7 million pounds of excrement every minute.
• A pound of beef requires 13 percent more fossil fuels to produce than a pound of soy.
• Overfishing is pushing our oceans to the brink of collapse, with over 90 percent of large fish at risk for total extinction.
• But there’s good news too! Going vegan immediately cuts your CO2 emissions in half and spares countless animals from a lifetime of suffering on factory farms.
