//Do we need to eat animals to stay in a good health?// No, we don't need to eat animals to stay in a good health. Nor need we drink milk or other dairy products. Milk is for young animals. Just as calves, children don't need to drink (mother) milk any longer once they are growing up. It isn't unhealthy to eat dairy products, but neither is it necessary.  Eating meat also isn't necessary. Indeed, meat contains some substances, which humans require, but these substances are first broken down to building blocks that are also found within plants.  Thus, eating meat is a detour. A valid argument for eating meat is that it takes less effort to stay healthy. If you don't eat too much meat that is! People like vegetarians, who don't want to eat any meat or fish at all, have to be more careful to make sure they ingest all of the essential building materials. This is even more for important vegans. People who want to sell lots of meat and dairy products will do anything to make you believe you really need it. They even make you think that animals want nothing more than to be eaten by you. Have they become stupid from eating meat?

 //What does "respect for animals" mean?// Parents often say that you must have respect for other people. Usually they mean people who stand out because they are different. For example, they are old and because of that slower or they're from abroad and speak the language badly. 'Respect for animals' actually implies that as well. Animals want humans to keep a little distance. That's precisely what the word "respect" means. It's a Latin word and means (freely translated) that you'll have to keep some distance and first consider if others want to have contact with you. Many animals don't want to be picked up or caressed. Respect also means that you consider the correctness of your judgment. Some animals like dogs and cats appreciate a lot of attention; other animals like birds and fish just want to eat and to be left alone. There is not a single animal that appreciates being locked away in a small hutch. Respecting animals thus involves that you won't do something like that.

So, really, do we actually need to kill animals?No we don’t! So lets work as a team and cherish animals because they have the right to survive

Animal Statistics Thousands of animals die every year because of what they contain, that’s unfortunately good for us humans. Take a look at these statistics.

Animals Used as Food 10 Billion, 27 Million, and 19,000: Every year, 10 billion domesticated land animals are slaughtered for food in the United States—27 million each day and 19,000 every minute. 50 Billion and 1,680:  Worldwide, the yearly slaughter count is more than 50 billion. Every second, 1,680 animals are killed for food.  Most farmed animals are killed when they are barely new born or even younger, such as the "broiler" chickens raised for meat who are slaughtered at only 6–7 weeks old. <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">250 Million Chicks

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">: <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> The U.S. egg industry suffocates, gases, or grinds up alive 250 million male chicks each year; they are not profitable because they will never produce eggs and are not bred to grow at an unnatural speed like broiler chickens. <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">5.5 Million Calves: <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> The 4.5 million calves in Europe and 1 million calves in the United States annually destined to become veal are forcibly pulled away from their mothers—dairy cows—within hours, or at most 1–2 days, of birth. The milk produced naturally by the mother's body for her calf, who normally would suckle for 6 to 12 months, is to be taken for sale to humans, so the calf is fed nutritionally deficient formula. His movement is severely restricted, to give his flesh the texture and color desired by human consumers. <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">90 Percent of Soybeans and 80 Percent of Corn: <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> More than 90 percent of soybean meal grown in the United States is used to feed animals being raised for human food; these animals also consume 80 percent of corn grown in the United States.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Animal Testing <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">25-100 Million Animals: <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> More than 25 million vertebrate animals are used in testing in the United States each year—including monkeys, chimpanzees, beagles and other dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, birds, farm animals, and still other sentient beings. After the experiments conclude, essentially all of the animals who have survived the research are killed. When invertebrate animals are considered, the estimated number rises to as high as 100 million.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Shocking isn’t it?To think these are all innocent animals who are dying for our sake. So unfair. But you can do something about it!!! Just by sponsoring $10:00 to animal rights It will give some animals the freedom to survive and live their life for longer than they would. But in the end all animals die some how. But they shouldn’t have to die painfully or by slaughter. Please help make a difference.
