Food for Thought

“The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer?" - Jeremy Bentham

This website is a receptacle for both quotes and facts & figures that pertain to the commodification and consumption of animals.

It is concerned with the three core consequences of this commodification and consumption:

• Cruelty & Compassion

• Environment &

• Health.

It also contains a page of related links. The most recommended of which are -  http://www.cultureandanimals.org/animalrights.htm and http://www.animal-rights-library.com/ 

The quotes and the facts & figures speak for themselves, I will not moralise as to the evils of commodifying and consuming animals, but I will briefly state my personal opinion, which is that whilst there are 6 billion people and growing, vegetarianism is quickly becoming a moral imperative, if not for the sake of the slaughtered and the environment in and of itself, then for the sake of our continued survival on this finite sphere.

Nevertheless, each person must make up their own mind.
