Leading Cause Of Death
Print This Post
Did you know that the leading cause of death for animals in America is the same cause of death for humans in America?
It’s meat-eating.
Billions of animals die needlessly in slaughterhouses simply in order to satisfy “unapologetic omnivores” who think it’s perfectly “natural” and “healthy” to eat dead animal flesh at every meal.
Millions of humans die needlessly from preventable and reversible heart disease, cancers, and type 2 diabetes, which stem from unhealthy, meat-centered diets.
Save animals. Save the planet. Save yourself.
Go vegan.

Actually the leading cause of death in domestic animals in america is NOT being eaten by humans-it is behavior problems. Pet overpopulation, millions of dogs/cats die needlessly in shelters each year because Americans are lazy and get a puppy or kitten they think is cute without properly researching whether this is the right pet for them and then this cute little fluffy thing grows up and still pees on floors or furniture, the 100lb dog is still jumping up on people or destroying furniture and rather than take the time to properly train the animal they just get rid of it and blame the animal. Pets are disposable to americans and THAT is what causes death. BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN ANIMALS
