Meet your Meat

If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian – this is the most important slogan on the website www.meat.org of the American organisation named People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The site is created for the – honest but shocking – presentation how animals are neglected, tortured, kept in filthy conditions, and often slaughtered in painful ways to produce meat consumed by people all over the world.
By giving this interview the president Dr Janez Drnovsek has for the first time expressed the message to people, to start thinking about unimaginable brutality that man is inflicting upon animals.
„Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence.” – declared in a science magazine’s article (Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research, 2003. Vol 64. No 2). 
Scientific facts corroborate, anyone easily become environmentalist. Join the populous camp of vegetarians!
Even if connection between meat consumption and climate change is a clear fact according to scientific researches, it does not get appropriate publicity and attention. Meat production is one of the major reasons of climate change. Animal breeding farms and factories produce several million tons of CO2 and methane per year.
