Petition Calls For Drastic Reduction In Animal Farming 05/12/2022

World leaders have been urged to take meaningful climate action by reducing global meat and dairy production. A petition that garnered more than 53,000 signatures was submitted to various higher-ups last week (May 5), reaching the leaders of America, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the EU, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, and the UK. Animal protection organization Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), which distributed the petition, said the matter is one of increasing urgency. “Our global leaders cannot continue to bury their heads in the sand,” said Sarah Moyes, senior campaigns manager at CIWF. “Livestock emissions play a significant role in the current climate emergency, yet this has been virtually overlooked by world leaders.” (plantbasednews.org)
