“About 2,000 pounds of grains must be supplied to livestock in order to
produce enough meat and other livestock products to support a person
for a year, whereas 400 pounds of grain eaten directly will support a
person for a year. Thus, a given quantity of grain eaten directly will
feed 5 times as many people as it will if it is eaten indirectly by
humans in the form of livestock products.”
- M.E. Ensminger, Ph.D.
“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the
torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.”

feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we’re
not contributing to their pain.”

be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and
justice cannot dwell together.”
