1. Closer to the Tipping Point

he documentary “Cowspiracy”, which made it to Netflix last month, is surely tilting the scale to the tipping point where the animal agriculture industry will find itself crushing. This documentary clearly exposes the tremendous devastation that raising animals for food causes to the planet. In the editor’s words, “has reached a tipping point and is about to have a big, nasty RJR tobacco moment in the public eye.”

2. This Week’s Famous Quote

The livestock sector…is probably the largest sectoral source of water pollution, contributing to eutrophication, ‘dead‘ zones in coastal areas, degradation of coral reefs, human health problems, emergence of antibiotic resistance and many others.

3. Animal Agriculture is Killing the Rainforests

The animal agriculture industry is the leading driving force of the destruction of the rainforests, which are the most diverse ecosystems in the world, home to creatures that are disappearing along with their habitats. These rainforests are also the lungs of the planet. Trees capture carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, creating a balance that is vital for life on Earth.

Simply put, supporting the animal agriculture industry is equivalent to committing environmental suicide.
