Deforestation a bigger culprit

To Desmond from “PETA Australia”

You have conveniently left out the other big cause of climate change, as well as carbon emissions, a bigger culprit is deforestation.

Large-scale agriculture, plant and animal, is one reason for this.

It is a complicated issue and won’t be fixed by us all going vegan.

A vegetarian diet is generally considered the healthiest.

In a vegan diet “some nutrients, such as protein, iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin B12, and Vitamin D can be harder to obtain”, and “supplements may be recommended to ensure some essential nutrients typically provided by animal-based foods and supplied in adequate amounts (betterhealth.vic.gov.au).

Not all animals suffer appalling lives and terrifying deaths, and it’s up to organisations like yours to help keep check.
