The Problem
Everyday, millions upon millions of animals are slaughtered after spending their entire lives being abused, trapped in cages with little room to breathe let alone move, and not allowed to simply exist. The meat industry is one of the cruelest industries not just for the animals, but for the planet. Approximately 77% of soy produced is used to feed livestock and that soy takes up tons of resources and land that could be used to preserve the natural environment. Not only that, animals typically used for consumption such as cows are an immense contributor to green house gas emissions and habitat loss for animals. In the Amazon Rainforest alone, approximately 80% of its current deforestation is because of cattle ranching, hurting millions of animals just so humans can consume a meat based burger.
