Because eating meat is cruel! Because eating meat makes you sick! Because eating meat is harmful to the environment! Because eating meat causes global suffering!

Away with Animal-Ghetto Wardens!
In Germany, there are 82.5 million inhabitants compared to over 166 million livestock, of which almost all languish in tormented existence in the animal-ghetto industry!  (123,407,800 poultry, 26,818,400 pigs, 13,063,600 cows, 2,584,300 sheep, 524,800 horses, etc.)

Down with Slaughterhouses!
500 million animals are deliberately killed by the fellows of death (the butchers) and the wanton killers (hunters) to end up on the plates of people as a piece of animal  carcass. This means a meat-eater has about 6 animals a year on his conscience. With a human life-expectancy of 75 years, this means 450 animals die for the sake of one single carcass eater.

This is why we call for:

    * A ban on the wanton killing of animals by slaughtering, hunting, fishing or vivisection
    * A ban on factory farming and the exploitation of animals
    * A ban on advertisements for meat
    * A ban on the use of solid and liquid manure in the fields
    * The classification of meat as a luxury item, like alcohol and nicotine
    * Correspondingly higher health insurance fees for meat-eaters
    * Animal rights education in the schools
