6 Heartbreaking Wishes for 2016: If Animals Could Talk, What Would They Wish For?
News / 6 Heartbreaking Wishes for 2016: If Animals Could Talk, What Would They Wish For?
As the year comes to an end, we often find ourselves reflecting on our lives and resolving to make positive changes. Let these animals inspire you to make more compassionate choices in 2016.
Animals used for entertainment in zoos, circuses, marine parks and other places of captivity often suffer from extreme frustration, boredom, stress and depression. Choose not to support these businesses in 2016, and share this information with your friends and family, too!
Cows used by the dairy industry are forcibly impregnated and repeatedly endure the stressful and traumatic experience of having their babies torn from them – often within hours or days of birth. Pledge to choose healthy plant-based milks from now on, and enjoy all the taste with none of the cruelty.
Like all animals used for food, pigs are generally sent to slaughter at a young age and denied the chance to live out their natural lifespan. During their short lives, they may experience such torture as castration and having their tails and the ends of their teeth cut off – all without painkillers. Luckily, there are lots of delicious cruelty-free alternatives on the market. Make the compassionate decision to leave pork off your fork from now on.
Want to do even more to help animals this year? Why not make 2016 the year you go vegan?
Since mainstream food chains offer plant-based menu choices and major supermarkets stock a plethora of vegan meals and other cruelty-free products, it’s never been easier to make this compassionate choice – for animals, for your health and for the environment.
