Rules can start out as simple as a slower speed limit, or as big as the animal industry. Nowadays, people all over the world feel the need to eat more meat products, whether it be bacon, burgers, chicken, or fish. That's perfectly fine. But the way you get to it is not. Today, the majority of land is used to grow food for our growing appetite. Forests are being cut down, meaning that other species are more likely to go on the endangered list. Take Brazil for an example. Seventy percent of the forests there are used to grow more food for animals.
Why do we need to grow so much food you may ask? We humans are impatient. When we want things, we want it right then and there. Meaning, factories are going to grow more corn, so they can stuff up pigs to make them nice big and round. What's wrong with that? It's inhumane. Imagine being born, fed non-stop to the point where your legs don't even work anymore because of all the weight you have put on. The result of that is you will be staying still, cause you just can't move, meaning sores and infections from bacteria growth. But then imagine spending that space crowded together with over 3,000 people, just as big as you. And remind you, since you can't get up, your feces and everybody else's are right beside you.
Then, once you have reached the maximum weight, you're shipped off in a tiny little cage with other people in it, barely getting enough air. Then you are brutally killed by people who majority of the time, have no respect for animals.
Animals should live live a happy life, before they die. Let them roam across fields, eating grass, flowers, not corn and antibiotics. Show the world the real truth behind the meat industry! Protest!
