2. Who Am I?

3. What I Know (aka My Call to Action)
Human beings are powerful and creative We live as though non-human animals are things We kill over 1,000,000 sentient animals every hour of every day for food

4. What I Know (aka My Call to Action)
Animals used for food are abused and used (for our wants) Virtually no federal laws protect farmed animals from abuse and confinement 95% of them are not protected even from inhumane slaughter

5. What I Know (aka My Call to Action)
Animals are some-ones not some-things They are beings with their own interests, desires and personalities 2500 studies have declared them sentient We no longer need to eat them

6. Human Impact
Factory farm work is grueling, repetitive, exhausting, dangerous and extremely violent Workers must psychologically detach themselves from the large-scale death they are actively involved in

7. Human Impact
Slaughterhouse lines run at insanely frenzied paces (like cows per hour or 140 chickens per minute) Injuries are rampant - double the rate of other United States industry and 30 times the national average for repetitive motion injury

8. Human Impact
Counties with slaughterhouses have four times the national arrest, with significantly higher rates oaverage of violent f alcoholism, domestic abuse, child abuse and suicide (Huffington Post 8/18/14)

Other Considerations
Environmental Impact Health concerns These are not mine to do!

13. My Observation
There is a disconnect between what I know about people (their beliefs and values) and their behaviors
Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time; performs an action that is contradictory to their beliefs, ideas, or values; or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas or values. (Scientific American, 1962 v. 207, L. Festinger)

19. Charles Fillmore
“We need never look for universal peace on this earth until men stop killing animals for food.“ “We believe that all life is sacred and that man should not kill or be a party to the killing of animals for food; also that cruelty, war, and wanton destruction of human life will continue so long as men destroy animals.” Unity Statement of Faith
