If you're vegetarian for ethics, you MUST go vegan. The dairy industry is just as cruel if not even more cruel than the plain ol meat industry. Cows are artifically inseminated so they produce milk (which could be classified as rape depending on how extremist you are) and mother cows have their newborn calfs stripped away from them moments after birth(because why would we waste that milk on the calf when we can sell it to humans?). The calfs are either killed to be veal, or just disposed of. They'll then keep repeating the process until the mother cow is "spent". At that point they'll likely just dispose of her. If it's not direct disposal, she's killed for meat.

I was a vegetarian at first then realized how hypocritical I was being. Not an attack on you, but I feel it's my duty to educate people on this kind of stuff because I had to be told myself. This is especially true when I'm dealing with a clearly compassionate person. The compassion is 90% of the battle.

Again, not an attack. I think just the fact that you gave up meat is FUCKING AWESOME. You're doing more for the animals and the world than most people are already. Just gotta try out the next step: veganism! It's totally not bad, if you want to try it out and you love junk food like I do, PM me and I'll hook you up with a bunch of readily available, DELICIOUS vegan food. I'm talking cookies, cheesecake, buffalo wings, the good shit lol.

So why is there no grander mention on each of these organizations' websites? Why are they not trying to spread the word to the average person? If this is truly the biggest factor in global warming, shouldn't it be their bread and butter? Shouldn't it be the biggest banner on the website?

IF you actually watched the documentary, you'd see top execs of these orgs sitting silently when asked about the ag industry. If they're so transparent about it, why the tension? Why would the narrator be rejected by so many orgs? Doesn't add up to me.

Did/do you ever fear for your life? I know there have been several cases of activists 'disappearing' while doing work to expose the worldwide issues created and terrible practices being used by big agriculture.

Side note: thank you for all you do. I can only imagine how stressful and mortifying doing a job like this can be, but just know that me and all other compassionate individuals as well as environmentalists (and probably doctors) owe you our deepest gratitude
