World Animal Protection launches guide for conscientious consumption
The material provides information on how the cruel practices of today's intensive farming systems can affect human health and the environment
The World Animal Protection (World Animal Protection) launches Conscious Consumption Guide, the material provides information on how the cruel practices of current intensive farming systems can affect human health and the environment. To get an idea of the problem, currently, the population consumes 30% more than the planet's regeneration capacity and for every person in the world, there are 10 farm animals raised in a system that disregards their physical and psychological needs.

In light of this scenario, the guide offers simple tips on how to buy and consume meat in a more sustainable way, respecting the well-being of the animals. In addition, it explains in a clear and didactic way the fundamental rights that all animals must have access to: to be free from hunger and thirst; be free from discomfort; to be free from pain, disease and abuse; having the freedom to express natural behaviors; be free from fear and stress. However, in current breeding systems, they are subjected to cruel and unnecessary practices, such as extreme confinement, preventive mutilation, overcrowding of facilities and impoverished environments that hardly resemble their natural habitat.
