Number of animals killed in the world by the meat, dairy and egg industries since you opened this webpage, not including the billions of marine animals killed daily.

We are killing our pets as well.

Over at Vegan Soapbox, Eccentric Vegan has written on an issue of vital importance.

Millions of animals are killed each year because nobody wants them:

millions of animals are killed each year because nobody wants them .. millions of animals are killed each year because people are breeding pets .. There is no overt cruelty. In fact, this is "humane." This is what many animal shelters do on a very regular basis. They kill animals.

Several prevention options are discussed, including "Promote Adoption" and "Shut Down Puppymills." Please link to the post, read it, watch the video (below), and spread the word.

Remember, this is killing, not euthanasia. Let's not delude ourselves. Breeders "create" animals to our specifications, we purchase these "products," and then we do it again; often times, animals from breeders end up in shelters as well. But if you buy direct, you fund that enterprise. All while millions of animals are killed in shelters...Our absurd morality in practice.
