“All animals want to live free from suffering, just like you and I do,” says PETA India Manager of Vegan Projects Dr Kiran Ahuja. “The best way to spare animals a miserable life and a terrifying death is to choose healthy, tasty vegan meals.”
PETA India – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – points out that animals killed for food suffer terribly, as can be seen in its disturbing and highly publicised video exposé “Glass Walls”. Chickens on factory farms are packed by the thousands into crowded sheds that reek of ammonia from the accumulated waste in which they’re forced to stand. They’re denied everything that’s natural and important to them. Chickens and other animals killed for food are crammed into vehicles and transported to slaughterhouses in such high numbers that many sustain broken bones, suffocate, or even die on the way. At slaughterhouses, workers often hack at the throats of goats, sheep, and other animals with dull blades. And fish suffocate or are cut open while they’re still alive on the decks of fishing boats.
Each person who goes vegan spares nearly 200 animals per year immense suffering and a terrifying death. In addition, raising animals for food is a leading cause of water pollution and water and land use, and a United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards vegan eating is necessary to combat the worst effects of the climate catastrophe.
PETA India opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETAIndia.com or follow the group on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram.
