So what if they saw millions of people dying on TV?
All they do, is just produce sounds of GASP, and felt somewhat upset, and after a while, they're off to continue with their meals on the dining table.
They don't care about the single drop of tear, they don't take any action at all. Oh yes, of course, they do stop and sigh for a moment. That's what most of them do.
And for those who're more action-oriented who do more than just simply sighing, when it comes to millions of people dying, they do something about it to help the needy in one way or another. BUT when it comes to BILLIONS of animals dying, they laugh and cheer merrily away.
Do you even know that by eating meat, it takes away 80-90% of the total Earth's resources (let's just understand it as
crops) whereas one who's a vegetarian (or you'd prefer the name NON-MEAT eater) removes 5% of the total Earth's resources.
So the ratio of meat:non-meat eater using Earth's resources = 20:1.
Another way to explain this, while a meat-eater is enjoying his/her food, 19 people are starving at the face of death or malnutritioned. What about the entire globe? How many people are meat-eaters? Who caused poverty and starvation? Not the terrible weather, not the changing climate, not inhumane wars, not Mother God. I guess you should know the answer by now.
We all don't have much time.
2012. 2 years only, and the ice at the Poles will melt totally, according to experts. It's not even thoroughly melted, and we can clearly see what has happened in this world. Even a change of 1 degree of the Earth's temperature, TERRIBLE DRASTIC happenings will come. By then, it will be too late, to do anything at all.
Everything starts small. It starts from just ONE person to make a difference.
Believe it or not,
it's up to YOU to do something to save this world where you live.
