Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Believe in the actual numbers, or don't, but it is a fact that by adopting a plant-based diet or even a diet that avoids meat on occasion you are saving animal lives. Statistics have revealed that a person who is a vegetarian for their whole life will save about 760 chickens, 5 cows, 20 pigs, 29 sheep, 46 turkeys, 7 rabbits, and over a half ton of fish and aquatic life. Just imagine yourself surrounded by all the precious life in those gentle creatures. Every day you eat a vegetarian meal, you do make a difference. *s* ~ pt ~ As the bee takes the essence of a flower and flies away without destroying its beauty and perfume, so let the sage wander in this life. ~ The Dhammapada (c.
