Fantastic news - at last a compassionate Farming Minister - Vegetarian Jim Fitzpatrick (appointed in June 2009) will report to Environment Secretary Hilary Benn, who does not eat meat either here in the UK.
Meat production accounts for 18 per cent of annual greenhouse gas emissions, outstripping transportation at 14 per cent. Millions of acres of rain forest are cleared for cattle and to grow animal feed each year, which accelerates climate change. The methane emitted from animals is 23 times worse for the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
We want Mr Fitzpatrick to embrace some of the less destructive, modern, cleaner, organic and fair trade farming methods being developed around the world. These advanced methods are kinder to the environment, Eco-systems, health and future of our planet and prohibit the killing of animals. Please sign this petition and tell our Minister to introduce new caring farming principals and methods.
Thanks for your support. (Check out "Devour the Earth" Sir Paul McCartney, The Beatles, on YouTube. 20 Min's about the detrimental, meat-based diet.)
