It is hard to give the exact number of animals that are
killed throughout the world each year but it is estimated that it is about
45 billion. That means about 5,137,000 animals are killed every hour
throughout the world. It takes slightly over one hour to equal the numbers
of innocent Jews that were killed in the Jewish Holocaust. Would you
believe that there has been about 2,600,000,000,000 animals killed in the
world since the end of WWII? The 2.6 trillion animals killed for food and
experimentation since WWII is an educated guess. That is a little less
then a half million times as many Jews that were killed in the Jewish
Holocaust. The word "holocaust" can apply to both the animal holocaust and
the Jewish Holocaust and does not take away from the Jewish Holocaust. The
comparison is valid since both get rounded up and placed into cages
(concentration camps). They both are tortured and sometimes starved in the
case of laying hens. They are both eventually slaughtered.
If we look at just the USA then we find an estimated 9.5
billion animals killed each year. That is 1,084,000 animals killed ever
hour or about 18,067 animals killed every minute. With 301 animals killed
every second, that is about one and a half time as many people killed on
the train in Spain by terrorist in the beginning of March. Then we say
that we do not want to upset our flesh eating friends by trying to convert
them. I think that we should do anything ethical to stop the killing of
animals for food and experimentation.
Now is the time to concentrate on getting our family and
friends to become vegans. We need to do whatever we can to save the
animals. There is a real animal holocaust in the world and we are on the
front lines to save them. We cannot surrender! We cannot retreat! We must
go forward!
