In India,
the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA) is urging the public to go vegan and especially stop eating fish
to help animals and the planet.
Senior coordinator for the
campaign, Mr. Nikunj Sharma explained the results of a year-long study
confirming that the practice of bottom trawling is one of the most
ecologically damaging and unsustainable ever as it involves dragging
huge, heavy nets along the sea floor, which in turn empty the waters of
all life.
Mr. Sharma also highlighted fish as a health risk,
being a major source of mercury and other damaging chemicals. Our
sincere thanks Mr. Sharma and People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals in sharing the message of the connecting our dietary choices to
the health of our planet.
Let us step together in choosing the
vital plant-based fare to save the lives of marine and all fellow
co-inhabitants.
In an October 2009 videoconference in Indonesia,
Supreme Master Ching Hai once again emphasized the importance of not
consuming any animal products, including fish, if we wish to sustain
ourselves and the planet.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai : “Meat production” also means fishing. After billions
of these underwater animals have been snatched from their homes and
killed en masse, our oceans are now gravely imbalanced.
Stopping
meat and dairy consumption and fishing, all the animal products – is the
fastest and most effective way to cool our planet and halt these
dangerous changes.
And now that we also understand the
immeasurable benefits for the organic vegan diet, which offers not only
better personal health, but literally can save the entire planet, the
entire world.
So, please join us, and become part of the trend
to save our world.
