Please don’t give people more reasons to eat chickens

Everyone is being told not to eat red meat.

Medical professionals. Climate change activists. Environmentalists. Animals [read: mammal] lovers. Every media outlet.

They are all united in saying: Don’t eat red meat.

Don’t eat red meat for health, environmental, and animals [i.e., mammal] reasons.

And many Vegans are also telling people to change their diet for health, environmental, and animal reasons.

The real-world consequences of repeating “health, environment, animals” are clear: Billions more individuals are tortured and slaughtered every year.

As always: It does not matter if the Vegan arguments are “right.”

It does not matter if veganism is “best” for health, environment, animals.

The only thing that matters is reducing suffering.

Animals don’t need you to be “right.” They need you to be effective.

Animals, not arguments

One Step for Animals is explicitly dedicated to countering this narrative and trend.

From Day 1, One Step has been dedicated to Animal-First Advocacy.

This is why we were founded. That is our motivation every day. To a first approximation, we’re not trying to “change” diets. We need to counter the narrative that is leading to so much more suffering.

Please support advocacy that is focused entirely on making a difference instead of winning an argument. onestepforanimals.org/donate.html
