YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS! 🤯Every day, an estimated 137 species of plants, animals, and insects go extinct due to rainforest destruction.
Plus…
Large predators (wolves, coyotes, bears, pumas, etc.) and even herbivorous animals such as wild horses are killed every day to protect the herds that are still raised in outdoors systems.
Predators are often keystone species in their ecosystems, so this mass killing has a large impact on the local environment.
If you consume animal products, you are also indirectly contributing to the slaughter of these species.

United Nations’s FAO EXPOSED 🚫 I first came across this when I watched the #Cowspiracy documentary on Netflix, that cites the 51% statistic as opposed to the FAO’s 18% figure.
My first thought was: “This must be wrong! There is no way animal agriculture is responsible for 51% of global emissions. That’s just insane.”
But then I did some digging.
As it turns out, the paper Cowspiracy took that from makes some very strong claims about the FAO’s miscalculations, and while no one can be certain what the exact correct percentage is, I am now confident that is definitely much higher than 18%.
These are NOT the only miscalculations of the FAO on the topic (read the original World Watch Institute report for all of them), but they are the most important ones.
Another one is, for example, that the FAO uses old statistics that don’t account for the fact that global animal agriculture and meat consumption have expanded in recent years.
Regardless of whether you find the FAO (18% of global GHG emissions) or the World Watch Institute figure (51% of global GHG emissions) more accurate, there is little debate that a plant-based diet is much more sustainable, cutting your dietary carbon footprint in at least half (probably more).

Moral courage for the win 💪
Have you faced unfortunate consequences in the past for speaking up for animals? Please share them with us!
Be smart on when to speak up.
I am an advocate for the pragmatic activist, which means you only speak up if your action will benefit the animals. Sometimes it is very tempting to say something, but it's best to remain silent in that moment to avoid anger thrown at you which can turn into a very stubborn hatred towards all vegans that will do very little to help animals.
By staying silent and choosing to comment on it later, when the situation is more favourable to you, you can become much more effective in your activism.
