I Can Change the World Tote Bag

Do you have some time to spare? If you do and would like to learn more about why ANIMALS SHOULD BE OFF YOUR MENU,  please see the video below:

Words by Philip Wollen:

We torture and kill 2 billion sentient animals every week

10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one species

We are now facing the 6th mass extinction in cosmological history

There is nothing  more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

Animal Rights is now the greatest Social Justice issue since the abolition of slavery.

It takes 50,000 liters of water to produce on kilo of beef

1 billion people are hungry

20 millions people will die from malnutrition

Cutting meat by only 10% will feed 100 million people

Eliminating meat will end starvation forever

Poor countries sell their grains to the West while their own children starve in their arms and the west feeds it to livestock so we can eat a steak? Am I the only one who sees this as a crime?

Every morsel of meat we eat is slapping the tear-stained face of a starving child. When I look into her eyes, should I be silent?

The earth can produce enough for everyone’s need. But not enough for everyone’s greed.

We are facing the perfect storm

If any nation had developed weapons that could wreak such havoc on the planet, we would launch a pre-emptive military strike and bomb it into the Bronze Age. But is is not a rogue state. It is an industry. The good news is we don’t have to bomb it. We can just stop buying it.

George Bush was wrong. The Axis of Evil doesn’t run through Iraq, or Iran or North Korea. It runs through our dining tables. Weapons of Mass Destruction are our knives and forks.

Animals are not just other species. They are other nations and we murder them at our peril. The peace map is drawn on a menu.

Peace is not just the absence of war. It is the presence of Justice.

Justice mis be blind to race, color, religion or species. If she is not blind, she will be a weapon of terror.

There is unimaginable terror in those ghastly Guantanamos we call factory farms or Slaughter houses. If slaughterhouses had glass walls, we wouldn’t be having this debate tonight.

I believe another world is possible. On a quiet night, I can hear her breathing. Let’s get the animals off the menu and out of these torture chambers.

Please vote tonight for those who have no voice!
