Freshwater Abuse and Loss: Where Is It All Going?

Aug 14, 2019 | (Universal)

“Along with climate change, perhaps the most pressing concern we have regarding sustaining our lives, and future life on earth, is our supply of fresh water. From 1941 to 2011 the world’s population has tripled, but freshwater consumption has quadrupled, which is predicted to leave forty percent of the world’s population facing severe water stress by the year 2020….The long-term solution to our looming freshwater crises can be found on our plates. Why wait until we run out of water? Make the change to a water-smart, purely plant-based diet today—and then inspire others to do the same!”

Food of Bodhisattvas: Buddhist Teachings on Abstaining from Meat

Aug 14, 2019 | (Universal)

“Based on the teachings of the Buddha, this book offers the most compelling and impassioned indictment of meat-eating to be found in Tibetan literature and is pertinent to anyone interested in vegetarianism as a moral or spiritual issue. The Buddha’s teachings show how destructive habits can be examined and transformed gradually from within. The aim is not to repress one’s desire for meat and animal products by force of will, but to develop heartfelt compassion and sensitivity to the suffering of animals, so that the desire to exploit and feed on them naturally dissolves. “

Father Frank Mann’s Awakening to Compassion for Animals

Aug 14, 2019 | (Universal)

Video: “With infectious enthusiasm and heartfelt compassion, Father Frank Mann, a Catholic priest for 35 years, describes his recent awakening to the cruelty and injustice endured by animals used for food. Already involved in rescuing cats from the streets of his New York City neighborhood, he finds himself challenged by a question posed on a freeway billboard: Why do we care about some animals and eat others? Father Frank is electrified by the realization that we can choose to abandon this unnecessary violence. His mission, “to be a champion of healing, hope and justice,” was inspired by visionaries such as Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton, whom he felt showed both kindness and moral courage in the face of injustice. To their vision of a more equitable and peaceful world, he believes the time has come to add care and respect for all sentient beings. Father Mann and The Tablet, a Catholic newspaper, hosted the New York City premiere of Peaceable Kingdom – The Journey Home, Tribe of Heart’s award-winning documentary about farmers who had a change of heart about animals.”

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal

Aug 14, 2019 | (Universal)

Book: “Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That’s a lengthy list of charges, but here Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.
Schlosser’s myth-shattering survey stretches from California’s subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many fast food’s flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths — from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate. He also uncovers the fast food chains’ disturbing efforts to reel in the youngest, most susceptible consumers even while they hone their institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and minorities.”

Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them. Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill.”

We work for all the animals suffering from animal experiments, in the food industry’s animal factories, in cages on fur farms and animals that are used in other ways by humans so that they do not get an outlet for their natural behavior. The Animal Right is a pronounced anti-violence movement, because we believe that neither humans nor animals should be subjected to violence. Through democratic advocacy, political influence and attitude change we want to realize our goal: a world where animals are respected as sentient individuals with the right to their own lives. We work primarily in Sweden but cooperate with other organizations and networks internationally and within the EU.”
