PaganVeg.com was created for the purpose of educating followers of Earth-Based religions on the importance of animal issues today.
While most Pagans claim a natural affinity for nature and the planet, many gorge on fat-laden, cruelty-filled, environmentally hazardous hunks of flesh.
With factory farm emissions comprising the majority of our carbon footprint on our planet who we call "Mom", it's time the Pagan community consider that you can't worship something you don't respect.
Would you ever open your refrigerator, pull out 16 plates of pasta and toss them in the trash, and then eat just one plate of food? How about leveling 55 square feet of rain forest for a single meal or dumping 2,500 gallons of water down the drain? Of course you wouldn't. But if you're eating chicken, fish, turkey, pork, or beef, that's what you're doing—wasting resources and destroying our environment.
Growing all the crops to feed farmed animals requires massive amounts of water and land—in fact, nearly half of the water and 80 percent of the agricultural land in the United States are used to raise animals for food. Our taste for meat is also taking a toll on our supply of fuel and other nonrenewable resources—about one-third of the raw materials used in America each year is consumed by the farmed animal industry.
