I believe in plant and animal equality, that's why I'm an omnivore

Why go Vegan?

Humans aren't the only animals on Earth. We live amongst countless other species of animals. As humans, we should seek to avoid the exploitation of other animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. It isn't right that 60 billion land animals and over 1 trillion marine animals are slaughtered annually just to satisfy our taste preferences. 

Pigs and Cows are slaughtered while conscious, blood gushing out of their arteries while they hang suspended on meat hooks. Chickens are kept in pens crammed to brim with their own excrement. The meat we eat comes from horrendously mistreated animals that are subject to the worst living conditions on the planet. 

The meat you buy at the market comes in a nice package, but before it was in a package, it was attached to a living animal. A sentient being was killed just so you could go home and eat a pot roast. There are alternatives to meat that taste just as good as authentic animals, and result in lower blood pressure and cholesterol, lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Going vegan lessens your impact on the environment. The average ecological footprint per person is 2.84 hectares while the Earth can only support 1.73 hectares. Going vegan will ensure that your children will be able to see blue skies and breathe clean air. 

Stop the heartless slaughter of animals and secure a green future for your children, go Vegan today.


Why go Carnivoran?

Animals aren't the only sentient beings on Earth. The kingdom Animalia is only 1 of 5 different kingdoms representing the innumerable species that call Earth home. It's commonly assumed that Animals are the only sentient lifeforms on Earth, but that is false. The Plantae kingdom also contains sentient beings. Plants. They feel pain, they can communicate with each other. Suzanne Simard conducted an experiment that provided irrefutable evidence showing how trees can talk to each other. 

Plants desire the same things as other sentient beings: food, water, shelter, freedom of movement, and avoidance of pain. Plants create a hormone called auxin that helps Plants grow towards their food, the Sun. Plants will consciously grow towards a water source. A Plant will actively attempt to grow out of a cramped space in search of open space. If a Plant is injured, the Plant will grow away or around the source of injury. 

Plants have feelings. A study done by IKEA shows that Plants respond to negative emotions just like humans. A Plant growing up listening to compliments will flourish while a Plant who's home life is nothing but abuse will wilt. 

Plants don't want to die or get eaten. Go hug a cactus or crawl into a bushel of roses and you will hear them saying back the F off.

As humans, we have no right to submit Plants to the cruelty that we submit other animals to. Since we are at the top of the Animalia kingdom, we control the happenings within our kingdom. This control does not extend to other kingdoms. It is our duty to punish animals that affect other kingdoms negatively. By eating them.

Since Plants are sentient just like animals, what makes them different? Plants help our environment by consuming the harmful chemicals humans create and turning them into O2. Animals on the other hand, take the precious oxygen that Plants create and turn it into CO2, something that humans already produce enough of on our own. 

Eating animals instead of Plants helps reduce the human ecological footprint on Earth and helps to preserve the environment for future generations.
