“70 BILLION ANIMALS KILLED WITH TRIPLE ANNUAL RESOURCES FOR HUMAN FOOD NEEDS”

“In the world - continues Animal Rebellion - More than 70 billion animals are fed and killed every year with resources that could satisfy human food demand three times over. In Italy, the Po Valley is confirmed every year among the most polluted areas in all of Europe, concentrating within it alone half of the national production and exploitation of pigs and a quarter of that of cattle.The main factors that cause environmental pollution in the area are in fact the spread of gas and livestock waste, released both legally and illegally.This demonstrates the inefficiency of a food model that favors the profit of a few industries.Calling the livestock industry 'sustainable' is a paradox if you really want to implement a food and climate security policy in Italy and around the world."

The Animal Rebellion protest fits into the context of national campaign “Vegetable Future” began on March 31st with coordinated actions within some large-scale retail chains.
