7. Extend your compassion for fish to other animals and take a
vegetarian or vegan diet. A vegetarian eats no meat, fish, fowl or
slaughterhouse by-products such as gelatine or animal fat. There are
now over 4 million vegetarians in the UK. Many people also go on to
become vegans, who are vegetarians who additionally do not eat milk,
eggs or anything produced from animals.

Why Vegetarian?
Did you realise that on average meat eaters eat 5 cows, 29
sheep, 822 poultry, 20 pigs and half a tonne of fish in their
lifetime? Most of these animals are kept in close confinement with
many other animals causing extreme distress and boredom to the animal.
All are brutally killed.

So Why Vegan?
Calves are torn away from their mothers at one or two days
of age so that we can have milk. Their mothers are overworked and
treated as breeding milk machines. They are kept permanently pregnant
so that they will provide more milk. Birds kept for eggs are usually
confined in battery cages where they can barely stretch their wings.
Most people keeping birds for eggs, even free range, will kill male
birds.


We have a vegan where I work!
He is the sickliest person in the company with more sick leave than anyone
else. He is constantly ill!

He is pale and painfully thin.

We all suggest a good medium-rare steak would do him wonders.
