"These Beings are not Resources. They are living, breathing, hurting members of our living family.

They deserve happiness too"

 

We share our living spaces with various species some of them are intricately linked with our daily routines as they provide us essential components that are considered to be important for our survival. The world livestock population is more than the human population, Brazil followed by India and China has the highest cattle and livestock populations. The rise in cattle and livestock population is due to the higher demands of livestock products in developed as well as developing Nations. 




The livestock industry are well flourished and came under the formal sector where millions of people are dependent on their livelihood. Livestock and cattle rearing are common sources of income for millions of families throughout the Globe. So economically, Livestock Industry is contributing to a Nations GDP and supporting the growth of the country.


Animals are providing resources, they are economically viable for nation-building, then where is the issue?

There are few issues related to the Livestock Industry, Fisheries, poultry, etc.,

  • Livestock Farming Degrade the Environment.
  • Land and Water resources get worst Affected
  • Contributes to Greenhouse gas emissions
  • Huge land is estimated to be used for Animal Farming
  • Large amount of grains is utilized in Animal Farming
  • Animal Farming is Unethical
  • Unhealthy for Human Consumption

It has a large Environmental Footprint that causes land, water degradation through polluting natural resources which ultimately leads to acid rain, climate change, and global warming issues. It is estimated that 18% Greenhouse gas emission caused by the human population is caused due to livestock farming. Around 30% of the Earth's surface is utilized for Animal farming and cattle rearing which damages the forest lands, farmlands and impacts Biodiversity of the region.

 The most prominent issue is ANIMAL FARMING IS UNETHICAL AND ANIMAL SUFFERING IS REAL. Whether or not you will agree with the fact that the slaughtering of animals for the consumption of meat causes severe pain to the innocent animals which cost their lives. The meat industry is rapidly growing at a pace all over the globe. Meat is considered to be healthy as it comprises of High Protein Content. But it welcomed with various microbial infections and high cholesterol content too in our body. Meat consumption increases the risk of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Failure as well. 

In the above figure, you can make an idea about the number of cows being slaughtered for the Beef production in distinct parts of the World.

Various issues in the slaughtering of innocent animals the meat production are increasing year by year in the name of Tasty food and Health Benefits which are not true.

When we keep Animals as a pet in our homes, we provide the best foods, basic accommodation or amenities, keep them with tenderness and protects them from any harm. In the same way Farm animals and animals which are used for riding in extreme places must be handled with the same care and tenderness. 

Considering animals as a resource is not an ecologically sound approach, animals have equal rights on the Earth. Humans must make wise decisions to manage the land and resources and distribute among the species equally in a sustainable manner for the wholesome development of nature.
