Native wildlife are vital for human health. Protecting and caring for native wildlife and plants is directly protecting and caring for human beings.

Imagine being a gentle pig arriving at a disease ridden slaughterhouse. At least vital carnivores such as owls need to eat other animals to survive. Especially when it is absolutely unnecessary for us to consume fellow animals.
16
Vital carnivores need to eat other animals to survive. Vital carnivores are actively seeking individuals that are sick, weak, and injured. Thereby, carnivores are increasing the health of the species gene pool they prey upon. No act of human hunting has ever brought a species back from the brink of extinction or increased the health of the species gene pool.
13
Until we reckon with the root cause of anthropogenic GHG emissions: disease ridden animal agriculture--- this is just treating the symptoms.
8
We are only as healthy as the environment. A healthful environment requires the presence and abundance of vital native biodiversity. Their existence means our well being.
8
No act is greater than going vegan. Encourage farmers to grow organic polyculture crops to feed humans directly vs. Farmers growing toxic GMO crops to funnel through exploited animals.
7
If one eats dead animal products, don't you dare call yourself a conservationist. (Former rancher, Howard Lyman)
7
The most disrespectful act toward all lives is our needless desire to eat fellow animals. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the greatest destructive act.
6
Human fishing is the most destructive act against vital marine ecosystems. Rethink paying for such abuse.
6
Rodents are vital for healthy living soil by making it aerobic and allowing for the soil to hold water. Toxic invasive monoculture lawns do the exact opposite and harm everyone downstream.
6
It is time to align our actions with the respect we hold for life by going vegan. No greater act is more powerful in conserving vital ecosystems than eating a bean burrito vs. A dead cow burrito.
6
The best way to protect vital wildlife is by going vegan. Everybody wins---it is better for you, the environment, and of course the fellow animals who do not want to be slaughtered.
5
Just as the USDA has as an obligation to prop up disease ridden animal agriculture industries; National park reserves and channels such as PBS are harshly influenced by organizations that promote activities that exploit vital wildlife. No human hunting has ever saved a species from the extinction.

The most powerful act to create and preserve viable habitats is by eliminating dead animal products. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native. wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined---and still feed the world. (Source: Oxford University, 2018- Reducing foods environmental impacts through producers & consumers) A win-win for all.

Go vegan for all fellow animals.

@MBMCincy63 War is not essential. It is essential for vital carnivores to eat other animals.
4
Exploiting dogs in conservation only leads to increasing dog populations at shelters as they are dumped when no longer useful. Dingo dogs have adapted to their surroundings where they provide more benefit to the native ecosystems. Diversity of vital native carnivores are essential for healthful ecosystems.
3
@owadenvironment There are no regulations for military working dogs when the dogs are no longer able to carry out their expected duties.

@tanglemangle3091 In the beginning of the documentation, the 3 industries called out causing the most destruction to the environment was coal, timber, and unsustainable animal agriculture. Animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world's transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) Veganism was not stated as the only solution. However, the elimination of dead animal products is the most important factor for ecological sustainability. We seldom realize the cheapest foods are also the most healthful and sustainable for the environment by consuming legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs & spices, and fungi.
3
@RealFarknMcCoy It is important to understand that most vital native species are pushed toward extinction due to the loss of wild areas. This is the same reason why many indigenous people are also facing extinction as they are forced out of their indigenous wild lands. All while, dead animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans. Eliminating dead animal products is simply a win-win for all.
3
@mr.commonsense Please keep in mind, it takes enormous amounts of land, plants, and scarce fresh water to feed the bodies of exploited animals vs. Feeding humans directly. If plants are of concern, it would be even more imperil to be vegan.

@AJWRAJWR We cope in many ways. We seldom realize that by consuming rotting flesh, lactation breast milk from another mother species, and period eggs of female birds only fuels ones own impotence. As altruistic motives don't appear to be an option, here is one just for oneself. Erectile dysfunction and heart disease can be two different manifestations of the exact same root problem: diseased arteries—inflamed, oxidized, cholesterol-clogged blood vessels. A diet abundant in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering plant and fungi foods improve sexual functioning in both men and women, as well as reduce risk of our #1 killer: heart disease.

@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre The documentary stated anthropogenic climate change is the greatest threat. Disease ridden animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world's transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) To make matters worse, the loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native. wildlife. Considered the most comprehensive analysis between farming and the environment, without meat and dairy consumption, global farm land use could be reduced by 75%. An area equivalent to the U.S., China, EU, and Australia combined---and still feed the world. (Source: Oxford University, 2018- Reducing foods environmental impacts through producers & consumers)

@sandro327 There is nothing about rotting carcasses, mother cow/ mother goat lactation breast milk for her calf turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds that promote human health in any way.
3
Disease ridden animal agriculture is the greatest invasive species. Go vegan to stand for all native biodiversity.
3
@Pizza Pasta Lasagna Spaghetti Meatballs Certainly. However, similar to rodents, Shrews play a vital role in making bigger pores and structures in the soil. Thereby increasing soil biology to stand against any erosion.
3
@eklectiktoni Please provide the scientific evidence that is stating such assertions. Be that as it may, the exploitation of fellow animals (disease ridden animal agriculture) is the largest consumers of fossil fuel. For example, feed crop production, pharmaceutical drugs, transport of GMO crops, transport of innocent animals, slaughterhouses, packing facilities, and the constant refrigeration for decaying flesh and other bodily fluids.
3
Rethink nuclear power. 1. No greenhouse gas emissions. 2. Most reliable source of energy. 3. According to IPCC, nuclear power is the safest and killed the least human lives.
3
@ Vital is used to exemplify the essential need for native carnivores for a healthful ecosystem. Obligate vital carnivores need to eat other animals out of necessity. Whereas, we have no dietary requirement to eat decaying flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her calf turned dairy products, and menstruation eggs of female birds to promote human health. Our needless desire to eat fellow animals and their bodily secretions is pushing vital native biodiversity to extinction.

Please stop spreading doubt. There is no such thing as sustainably exploiting fellow animals in agriculture. Let's not wait for others to align their actions by going vegan. The greatest loss of vital native biodiversity is animal agriculture.
2
We have a moral obligation to be vegan. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of poverty and extinction of vital native biodiversity.
2
@KevinUchihaOG We are only as healthy as the environment. It is only with the abundance and presence of vital native biodiversity is a healthful ecosystem possible. It takes enormous amounts of land, plants, and scarce fresh water to funnel through the bodies of exploited animals vs. Feeding humans directly.

Absolutely. The best way to protect is by going vegan. Animal products are a class 1 carcinogen. Eliminating dead animal products is a win-win for all.

Let's do our part to reverse the immense cruelty of causing species extinction by going vegan. To add, dead animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans. The elimination of dead animal products is a win-win for all.

@fleetingfacet8028 Please be kind to oneself, too. If altruistic motives are not enough, here is one for oneself. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products. To make matters worse, the destructive act of human hunting is the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today.
2
@RealFarknMcCoy Our opinions does not disprove the facts. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of ecological destruction worldwide. (NASA)
2
Let's create awesomeness by going vegan. There is no greater destruction to life than our needless exploitation of fellow animals.
2
Human hunters are the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today. In the U.S. alone, human hunters dump millions of pounds of lead into the environment every single year.
2
Wild dogs actually increase the gene pool by hunting sick, weak, or diseased individuals. Human hunters do the exact opposite by creating extinction within the species. All while, destroying vital ecosystems.
2
@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre Animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive to all native biodiversity. Does it make sense to participate in the most threatening act towards the species one is attempting to conserve? All while, animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans.
2
@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre Animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive industry. The exploitation of fellow animals causes the most air, soil, and water pollution.
2
@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre Until we reckon with the root cause of ecological destruction: animal agriculture---all one is doing is merely delaying the extinction of the species within the geographical location.
2
@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre It is important to understand that destructive industries such as animal agriculture exist due to our demands. It may not be us directly stabbing the individual animals and poisoning the lands to feed the non-human animals, but there is no difference in paying others to kill and pollute on our behalf.
2
@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre The greatest use of land is the exploitation of non-human animals. Transitioning confined animal feed operations, factory farms, slaughterhouses, dead animal packing facilities, and mega refrigeration facilities to slow down the decaying process of dead animals to credible sanctuaries would not take any more land. Our consumption of dead animals and their bodily secretions is the #1 cause of species extinction worldwide. Contributing to the #1 cause of species extinction is not saving a species from extinction. For example, Coca-Cola company sending out a team to pick up some plastic bottles is not tackling the root cause of plastic pollution. Palm fruit containing products is only found in junk food. According to the USDA, over 85% of all palm oil is used in animal products. Thereby, the elimination of dead animal products drastically cuts down the consumption of harmful palm oil. Generating income is not a reasonable justification to destroy the environment. In the U S. alone, human hunters dump millions of pounds of lead into the environment every year. Making human hunters the #1 cause of lead pollution and poisoning today. It is far more admirable when individuals align their actions to prevent the root cause of harm rather than just treating the symptoms.

@ToughieTheRabbsFringeLimbedTre Every GMO cow, chicken, pig, turkey, sheep, duck, and most fish are fed crops. The same land that is used to grow feed crops for exploited gentle non-human animals can be better used to grow crops to feed humans directly. There is no denying that the way we treat the soil could (should) certainly improve. Although it is not necessary to consume avocados and cacao, it actually provides human health benefits. Eating local 7 days a week can not rival the environmental benefits of eating vegan for 1 day. (Carnegie Mellon University, 2008, Weber & Mattew)
2
The greatest threat toward vital native wildlife and the humans safeguarding nature is ranchers. Cows, sheep, pigs, chicken, fish, ducks, and others require far more land, scarce fresh water, and plants vs. Feeding humans directly. Try chickpea hummus with toast vs. Lactation from another mother species turned cheese on toast.

@ If humans are not animals, then what biological kingdom do we belong to?
2
@denningmp37 Everything we need comes from the sun and the soil. All minerals originate from the earth. Vitamins are made by plants and fungi. Vitamin D is a sunshine hormone. Vitamin B12 is a bacteria found in the waterways and the soil. Protein is only made by plants. For example, the protein in a lion came from the zebra that drew up from all the plants they ate. It would be wise to eat the source of all essential nutrients from an array of plants and fungi directly.
2
@lastEvergreen It is important to understand that toxic GMO crops are planted as feed crops for the gentle non-human animals exploited for our needless consumption. For example, it takes enormous amounts of land, scarce fresh water, and plants to funnel through the bodies of exploited gentle non- human animals vs. Feeding humans directly.
2
Zoo's are concentration camps. Raping female animals intentionally to bring more life into existence for one's brief profit. Born in captivity, die in captivity.
2
Let's go vegan to show our greatness to them. ^_^
2
Why pay others to destroy vital native wildlife that make ancient forests possible, so we can needlessly eat rotting carcasses? Reconsider vegan.
2
@eklectiktoni Disease causing animal agriculture creates more greenhouse than the entire world's transportation sector combined. (WHO, 2006) It would be wise to align our actions with the respect we hold for life by eliminating the consumption of disease causing dead animal products.

@eklectiktoni To add, animal agriculture is the most ecologically destructive industry. The loss of wild areas to animal agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of vital native wildlife.

@eklectiktoni It was never stated as a magic bullet. However, it would be wise to tackle the root cause of ecological destruction: animal agriculture. We all have to eat, but we certainly do not have to consume the bodies of fellow animals and their bodily secretions.
2
Let's be more simple by eating the source of all essential nutrients from plants and fungi. Thereby, showing respect toward fellow animals.
2
@Xanthate1845 The exploitation of non-human animals is the most ecologically destructive. Animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire world's transportation sector combined. It is humbling that the elimination of animal products is the most effective, cheapest, healthful, and compassionate way for an ecologically sustainable environment for all.
2
Let's try to eliminate dead animal products. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the most destructive industry to all native biodiversity. Let's eat the source of all essential nutrients from plants and fungi and show respect toward fellow animals.
2
@Kaikaifilu1994 Legislations are only effective when enforced. Human hunters are notorious for clearing lands to make way for such destructive activities. Vital native carnivores actively seek weak, injured, and sick individuals. Thereby, increasing the health of the species gene pool they prey upon. Human hunters needlessly target the largest, strongest, and most robust individuals only to weaken the gene pool leading the species to extinction.
2
Toxic pesticides such as herbicide fertilizer and other pesticides have been found in all areas of the earth. As pesticides carpet the soil leaching to waterways and volatile into the atmosphere, it harms everyone downstream. Especially vital wildlife. #1 Source of toxic pesticides is by eating the dead bodies of these gentle animals---the body of an animal stores the highest concentration of all toxins and pollutants.

@JesusisKing134 Is it surprising that the information shared hardly makes a dent in reconsidering one's choices to be respectful toward non-human beings? Especially when we ridicule, demean, and shut down any conversation and action showing consideration toward fellow animals. If altruistic motives are not enough, here is one for oneself. In the U.S., heart disease is our #1 killer. American cardiologists Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reversed heart disease without any drugs and surgery. This was only possible by fully eliminating all animal products.

Let's do our part by eliminating dead animal products.

Anyone cruelly condoning the killing of marine animals by continuously and unnecessarily eating their rotting carcasses---cannot respect the ocean.
1
Our own forks & knives are directly causing extinction of vital native biodiversity. Rethink vegan by eating roasted chunky vegetable 5 bean chili vs. Rotting bodies of animals chili.
1
Humans breeding other animals always leads to disease.

@crowwithaknife1312 The exploitation of non-human animals is capitalism. It is important to understand that many harmful acts have been carried out for thousands of years. For example, slavery. However, tradition is not a reasonable justification to continue harmful acts. Humans have been clearing land and mining the earth beyond thousands of years to bioaccumulate air polluting greenhouse gas emissions.
1
@crowwithaknife1312 Everything we need comes from the sun and the soil. All minerals come from the soil. Vitamins are made by plants and fungi. Vitamin D is a sunshine hormone. Vitamin B12 is a bacteria found in waterways and the soil. Protein & omega-3s are only made by plants such as plant algae and flax seeds. All while, our needless desire to consume rotting flesh, mother cow/goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products, and period eggs of female birds is the most ecologically destructive act.

@carrow2250 As a start, nothing is mine. As an individual, living humbly is worthy. And go to neighbors that are struggling and see if I may be of help.
1
The greatest hypocrisy of our kind is to claim to respect nature and all the inhabitants that make nature possible. Yet, when asked to consider the unnecessary harms brought on by our demand to eat fellow animal bodies and their bodily secretions—how dare we eat bean burritos vs. rotting bird carcasses burritos?
1
Every time we needlessly eat the carcass of another animal, we are paying others to rape more lives into existence. Thereby, the main cause of pushing vital native wildlife into extinction. Always remember, everything we need comes plants and fungi. Eating rotting flesh is only recycling plant nutrients.
1
@Indy Reno It was never stated on my end that all small mammals are rodents or that shrews are rodents.
1
Human fishing is the most ecologically destructive to all life. No fish makes Omega-3's. Eat the source from plant algae and flax seeds.
1
Respect starts by aligning our actions. The greatest threat to vital marine life is animal products. To show our respect, try eating hummus based sandwiches vs. period eggs of female birds based mayo.
1
@eklectiktoni The #1 use of harmful fossil fuels is animal agriculture. Disease ridden animal agriculture is the #1 cause of deforestation of vital lands. (NASA) Our absolute unnecessary consumption of rotting carcasses, mother cow/ goat lactation breast milk for her baby turned cheese products is the most ecologically destructive act.
1
@eklectiktoni The greatest ecological destructive act is disease ridden animal agriculture.
1
Reconsider the consumption of dead marine animals. Marine animals have the highest concentration of heavy metals. Toxic heavy metals clog the arteries to the brain, causing alzheimers disease in humans.
1
For all our distant sisters and brothers, let's eat more array of healthful beans, fruits, whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, and fungi. The more one gets away from eating decaying carcasses, lactation breast milk of another mother species, and period eggs of birds---we make the most impactful contribution to the environment. Which, of course, only benefits us as well.
