The Juicy Bits:
- Meet and Be around rescued animals; they are individuals much like domesticated pets.
- The vast majority of suffering on Earth is a result of abuse taking place in factory farms. Factory Farms are the most destructive force on the planet.
- Going vegan is a choice stemming from going down a path of compassion. Check out the episode with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.
- Compassion in World Farming is one of the largest farm animal protection organizations. They also help with food system reform and change.
- Our food system is broken. It is financially and nutritionally inefficient with so much of the world's seeds and grains going to feed animals instead of people.
- Cage-free eggs are NOT HUMANE. They cost double or triple conventional eggs when the added cost per egg is only 1-5 cents.
- The SAVE OUR BACON ACT would be a law stuck in the farm bill that would nullify all state laws prohibiting crates. Why oppose the SOBA: it nullifies all animal protection laws, it's bad for smaller farmers who actually believe animals should have space to move, and it takes away states' rights and overturns voter-approved laws.
- How you can help stop SOBA: call your US Senator at 202-224-3121, and tell the person on the phone that you oppose SOBA and do not want it included in the farm bill.
- The SOBA is about protecting mother pigs, but it's also chickens and veal calves that are subjected to the worst confinement on Earth.
- The first law to ban gestation crates was a ballot measure in the red state of Florida, where they put it in the state's constitution. The SOBA is not about banning pork -- it is simply about allowing mother pigs to stand up, turn around, and extend limbs.
- To what length would you go to get your pet out of suffering?
- If you help SOBA and the fight to end factory farming, you will change the course of history for billions!
- We are in a collective fight around compassion; it takes all of us everyday doing simple acts of kindness.
- Matt's favorite foods: anything from Chef Chloe in NYC! and nutritional yeast.
