From day to day large number of people decides to stop using meat in their meals. There are countless and different reasons for doing that. People stop eating meat because they think that is better for their own health, some of them feel sorry for the animals, some think that could help ending the world hunger… there are so many reasons that are so hard to think off for someone that is not a vegetarian. PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is the largest animal rights group in the world. People that work there are trying to develop the people’s conscience when it comes about the animals. They are trying to convince the public that animals have their right to be treated equal as every other living soul on the earth.

According to PETA, these are some of the main reasons why should people leave meat off of their dishes.

• We live with our pets and we take care of them like they are members of our family. Maybe we are treating dogs and cats as our friends, but the truth is that farmed animals are every bit as intelligent and capable of feeling pain as the dogs and cats. The people from PETA put the accent on the value of their lives. They look at them as individuals that also solve problems, experience fear and pain… Only in America more that 16 billion animals are killed every year for food. These animals have been abused, genetically manipulated, put on drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transported through all weather extremes, and at the end, killed on a terrible ways, like they are protagonist in some shooting games.

• The vegetarians are defending the thesis that vegan foods provide all the nutrients that people need for their healthy living and there is no need to eat meet. Besides all the healthy ingredients in the vegan food, there is no saturated fat in them, any cholesterol or contaminants that are found in meat, eggs, and dairy products. These guarantees protection from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, strokes, and several types of cancer. The immune systems are stronger and as they say, on average, vegetarians live 10 years longer than meat-eaters.

• The members of PETA also pay attention to the dangerous meat-processing machines and they claim that not only the animals have been abused in this process. The number of workers that endure crippling injuries and the ones that have even lost their limbs—or their lives is very big.

• PETA claims that factory farms pollute the environment for many miles around them. People who live and work nearby is fighting with chronic sickness, brain damage, poisoned waterways, elevated cancer rates and even death plague.

• According to PETA raising animals for food is extremely inefficient. Animals eat a lot but only a fraction of the calories are returned in the form of edible flesh. This whole process steals the food from the hungry people in the world and if stops the process of intensively breeding farmed animals and grew crops to feed humans instead, we could easily feed every human on the planet with healthy vegetarian foods.
