Human-Animal Infectious Diseases on the Rise

According to a study by the International Livestock Research Institute, animal-borne diseases are responsible for 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million deaths a year. Unfortunately, the rising demand for animal products is expected to increase the spread of human-animal infectious diseases.

Eating God’s animals or their by-products brings misery and death to all of creation. Just imagine how many people could be saved just by transition to a plant-based diet! Human-animal infectious diseases would disappear; the rate of most chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart-disease would plummet; hunger would be a thing of the past; and billions of God’s creatures would be spared of a life of misery and of a brutal death. There is no need to kill animals for food. Transitioning to a plant-based diet helps us to bring healing and reconciliation while celebrating the wonderful gift of life!
