Ducks and geese are not the only animals who suffer in agriculture. Other farm animals live miserable lives and die agonizing deaths all in the name of people eating their flesh. Humans have no nutritional need for animal products, and plant-based diets are better for the environment. To learn more about adopting a vegetarian diet, please visit TryVeg.com. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, please contact us. We are are planning many events, including leafletting and other non-violent forms of protest that we would appreciate your support in.
