We live in a world in which 77 billion land animals, none of whom wanted to die violently in a slaughterhouse, are brutally done to death for their flesh to be stripped and hacked off their bodies to be eaten by humans each year. We also live in a world where the climate is changing, and some of the world's worst polluters and destroyers of the natural world are the animal agriculture industries. We also live in a world where cheap fast food is causing much of the populations in the west (and even in other countries, like Egypt and parts of Asia) to become overweight/obese and suffer health problems and die young because of their weight. Much of the revenue for the fast food and meat industries comes from advertising and marketing.
However, there is hope. Haarlem, Netherlands, has recently become the first city in the world to ban the advertising of meat, in an effort to help fight climate change. For the sake of the animals, the planet and the health of the people, other cities, such as London and Exeter, in the UK, must follow suit and ban the advertising of meat and fast food. This would greatly benefit the animals, our continued existence on this planet and the natural habitats and wildlife of this planet and the health of the people. This would also mean standing up to the corporations that are harming the environment for profit, murdering, exploiting and abusing animals and selfishly putting profit above people's health, perhaps, pressuring them to take action and change their ways to become more ethical, in order to keep their business.
Please enact laws to ban the advertising of fast food and meat in Exeter and London as soon as possible!
