Save Lives; Be a Vegetarian!
Have you ever driven by a farm with hundreds of cows just waiting to die? Cows and other animals should have the right to live! Being a vegetarian is the right way to be because meat is murder, sometimes it’s unhealthy (mad cow disease), and there are other things to eat than meat.
Just think about all of the cows that are raised each year, just to be eaten. There are hundreds of creatures that are only raised to die. Also, just imagine all the tiny indecent calves that don’t even get the chance to live; they just get their life taken away from them. Sometimes though, the meat is not all that great.
When mad cow disease went around in the United States, it made many people sick and even some die. Around hundreds of people died from mad cow disease (AnimalRights.net). But fortunately, it’s no longer a huge threat in the U.S. right now, but who knows, it may happen again. But meat is also good for you.
One might say that meat is a necessary item to live, but there’re many things that you can eat to get the same nutrition. For example: veggie-burgers, vegetables, fruits, grains, and more. Though it’s not quite the same, if everyone gave up meat, there would be more foods that aren’t meat that are available for humans. So next time you are craving that quarter pounder or big Mac, go eat some veggies!
Eating meat is wrong for three reasons: it’s murder, meat can carry diseases, and there’s plenty other things to eat than meat. Next time you want a juicy steak, go chow down some fruit!
