Thousands of Coyotes, Wolves, and Bears Killed for Hamburger
A Meat and Dairy Industries Article from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves. As we continue to disregard the value of the lives of the billions of animals we eat, we also are destroying our air, land and water.

Thousands of wild animals, including bears, coyotes, foxes, and even endangered species, are killed because they are seen as a threat to the livestock industry.

Meat-free eaters have a new reason to feel good about their meal choices.

According to The Huffington Post, farmed animals aren't the only ones spared by a vegetarian lifestyle. See "How many wolves died for your hamburger" at the Huffington Post website.

In fact, thousands of wild animals, including bears, coyotes, foxes, and even endangered species, are killed because they are seen as a threat to the livestock industry.

According to the USDA's Wildlife Services program, 75,326 coyotes, 3,700 foxes, and 419 bears were killed just last year, and that's just a fraction of the overwhelming 2 million total wild animals destroyed.

HuffPo also revealed the disturbing and torturous methods used to kill these animals: exploding poison caps, injurious traps, and aerial gunning.

Thankfully, an animal-free lifestyle reduces the suffering of all animals, making it the most compassionate choice.
