*[Enwl-eng] We're not just hurting farmed animals; we're hurting Mother Earth

[ENWL]

            Factory farming is causing runaway greenhouse gas emissions in 
Europe. It could doom us all.

                 Picture every single car, van, and other roadway vehicle 
throughout the entire European Union, and all their greenhouse gases, 
combined. Now imagine an industry that produces even more carbon dioxide. 
That industry is animal farming in Europe. In 2018, every car and van in 
Europe cumulatively released 656 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. That same 
year, farm animals and their associated water and land use (including 
deforestation) accounted for 704 million tonnes of carbon dioxide — 
constituting a huge setback in the fight against ever-worsening climate 
change.

                  We already know that factory farming and other forms of 
livestock-based agriculture are cruel and promote heinous ways of treating 
other living creatures. But now we also know it's literally killing us — and 
our Earth. Despite that, Europe continues to see a huge rise in meat and 
dairy production and consumption, which has corresponded to similarly large 
increases in livestock-related emissions. The science is clear: if Europe 
doesn't get its livestock agricultural industry in check, it has zero chance 
of reaching its target levels for reduced emissions. And it could doom the 
rest of the human race in the process. Tell the European Union: live up to 
your Paris climate commitments, and reduce your reliance on gaseous meat and 
dairy products now!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Does Europe have the courage it takes to reduce its 
reliance on meat and dairy for the sake of our planet? Or is it just too 
"chicken"? Sign the petition to demand reduced farming of animals for human 
consumption!
