You may have already seen how animals
are treated on todays factory farms. You
may even have seen how they are killed
in slaughterhouses. You probably dont like
seeing those pictures and videos. Why?
Youre a kind and decent person. You dontwant others to suffer unnecessarily.
According to a 2010 Newspoll phone
survey, 99% of Australians are against
cruelty to animals. More and more people
like you are choosing to leave chicken, fish,
and other animals off their plates. Manyothers are cutting back on the amount of
meat they eat.
Of course, the choice is up to you. Whether
you decide to cut out meat entirely or just
cut back, you can make a big difference for
the world at every meal.
CHANGE IS GOOD

First I spent some time
trying different meat-free
foods and learning how to
use them to make all my
favourite dishes. I thendid the same with eggs
and dairy products and
I am now vegan. I love
experimenting with so
many tasty alternatives.
-Georgie Purcell
Deakin University
I went vegan just over two years ago,after being vegetarian for four years. I
didnt feel good eating products that
came from animals who were suffering.
It has been easier than I expected and I
have never looked back! Happy, healthy
and cruelty-free.
-Janelle Rees, Southern Cross University
As a child I ate meat, sometimes
pressured to do so, but I couldnt avoid
the harsh truth of animal slaughter and
factory farming. A meatless diet hasproven rewarding to both my conscience
and my physical health, with simple and
delicious recipes satisfying all my needs.
-Parth Girdhar, University of Sydney
Te decision to live a cruelty free life
has been the best decision I have ever
made. I am so much more aware of
the impacts an individual can make,
especially the positive ones.
-Liss Finney, University of Newcastle
1,538,000 people in Australia aged 14 and over agreethat the food I eat is all, or almost all, vegetarian. Tat
equates to over 9% of the population aged 14 and over.-Roy Morgan Research Data, December 2006

Male chicks like Kevin are killed by beingdropped into a giant grinding machine.
Kevin is one lucky boy. He was bred by
the egg industry, but like all male chickens
he cant lay eggs. Male chicks like Kevin
are typically killed by being tossed alive
into a giant grinding machine. Thankfully,
Kevin was rescued and is now living out
his life at an animal sanctuary.
Like all chickens, Kevin has a unique
personality. Studies show that chicks
like Kevin are able to count as high as
ten. They have a sense of time, and they
anticipate the future: they will give up a
small reward now to get a larger one later.
Many Australians continue to be shocked to learn thatmillions of farmed animals are not afforded even the mostbasic legal protection granted to other sentient creatures
we share this world with.

Chickens raised for meat spend their entire
lives packed in a massive warehouse. They
have been bred to grow so fast that by the
time they are one month old it hurts to walk.They are in constant pain, and spend most of
their time lying on the ground.
Egg-laying hens spend every minute of their
lives packed in feces-filled cages. The cages
are so small, hens can barely turn around and
cannot spread their wings.
When chickens get sick, they are clubbed
on the head with a metal rod or left to suffer
to death. At the slaughterhouse, they are
electrocuted and then have their throats slit. If
they avoid the blade as many birds do they
will drown in a tank of scalding hot water.

Fishes like Calvin have long-term
memories, and are smart enough to
learn tricks. (You can see videos atFish-School.com.) Like all farm animals,
fish are badly abused - they just dont
have the vocal cords to scream.
About half of the fish that are eaten do
not come from the wild. They are raised
in small, crowded pools that can be sofilthy up to a third die from disease.

Teyre like floating pig farms...Disease andparasites [on fish farms] run rampant.
-Te Los Angeles imes, Fish Farms Become Feedlots of the Sea
Because they are stressed by the
crowding, fish sometimes bite off the
fins, tails, and eyes of other fish.
Fish who are pulled out of the water
suffocate as their gills collapse. It can
take up to ten minutes before they die.
When they are dragged up from deep
in the ocean, their eyes bulge and
their stomachs turn inside out from thechange in pressure.

In 2009, a farm worker in Pennsylvania found a
pig, named Emily, had figured out how to escape
from her cage. But Emily didnt just sit and
enjoy her freedom. She went around unlatching
the doors of other cages. Co-workers said this
happened often; when one pig learned how toescape, she usually tried to show other pigs how
to do the same.
Emily and other pigs have dreams when they
sleep at night. They are friendly and social, and
they rub their noses together with close friends.
Because they are so intelligent smarter eventhan cats and dogs they go crazy from being
confined. Some bite the metal cage bars over and
over until their teeth shatter. Others get depressed
and lie on the filthy floor without moving. At just six
months old, pigs like Emily are electrocuted or shot
in the head with a metal rod. Pigs who dont die
immediately are drowned alive in scalding water.

[Tey] suffer beyond anything
most of us can easily imagine. Tey
are unable even to turn around
for weeks at a time, so that their
muscles and bones deteriorate.
And these extremely social and
intelligent animals lose their minds
from being denied any social or
psychological stimulation at all...
On behalf of compassionate people
everywhere, I implore you to help
end the needless suffering.
-Ryan Gosling, Actor
So our animals cant turn around for the 2.5
years they are in the stalls...I dont know whoasked the sow if she wanted to turn around.

I chose a vegan diet after realisingthe complex emotional and social
lives animals live, along with the
prevention of major diseases and
massive environmental benefits. Te
choice was a simple one, with a solid
scientific foundation.
-Louis Hill, University of Newcastle
I try to eat a wide variety of whole
foods to ensure I am getting all the
nutrients I need. Of course, I stillhave my favourite treats now and
then. If youre naturally low on a
vitamin or mineral like iron, there
are also supplements you can take.
-Liz Hill, University of Melbourne
To feel awesome, make sure you include high-protein foods like beans, peanuts,
veggie burgers, sausages, and lunch meats. Iron is high in plant-based diets and
eating vitamin C at meals helps you absorb it. Consider a multivitamin with B12
to cover your bases. Remember that ditching meat is not about being perfect, but
starting where you can and sticking with it.
I play rugby and work out a lot sogetting enough protein is important.
I didnt need to worry. Tere are so
many vegetarian foods high in protein
like nuts, beans, tofu, lentils and plant
based meats. I also drink a non dairy
protein shake and have added muscle!
-Matthew Yates, Australian Catholic University
DOING IT RIGHT
As a medical doctor,I consider adopting aplant-based diet to be
one of the most importantthings someone can do toprevent the leading causesof disease.

On the go? Dont worry! Falafel kebabs, vegetarian
noodle boxes and sandwich bars can be found
in many food courts. Roast vegetable focaccias,
wraps, potato wedges, tomato bruschetta, and
soups are great options in cafes. Try almond or soy
milk in your coffee.
Most international restaurants have tasty options
without meat. You can chow down on Mexican
vegetarian burritos, Thai tofu and vegetable stir-fry,
Italian pasta, and Indian curries.
100% vegetarian and vegan restaurants are
popping up all over Australia! Indulge in brand newfoodie experiences like creamy cashew cheese or
chocolate coconut ice-cream.
At a restaurant with nothing good on the menu?

Every supermarket has the basic (and
cheap) meat-free foods you already eat.These include pasta, rice, cereals, nuts,
beans, fruit, vegetables, bread, muesli bars,
snacks, and more.
Most supermarkets also carry protein-packed
vegetarian meats. Some products taste better
than others, so try a few to see which onesyou like. Great brands found nationally
include Frys and Syndian.
Visit the refrigerated shelves in your grocery
store. There you will find animal free veggie
burgers, sausages, falafels, dips and more.
In the frozen foods section, look for chicken-style schnitzels, hamburger patties, and
veggie spring rolls. The milk aisle carries
almond, soy and other non-dairy milks.
Even more options can be found in smaller
health food stores and independent grocers.
