  The governement of course, this will be the solution, if it will help out, set ethical standards,etc..
  But, if yo can not reach the top, then must start at the bottom..you are right, that individuals should be contacted, meetings must be set up ( a free drink will help!), etc..speaking for myself, i made not long ago a flyer about bear farming in asia, passed it around in mailboxes, i am really convinced people really do not know what is going on, if they knew, they will boycott, maybe not all of them, but a good part of them, the majority maybe, such companies that are so cruel to animals…

  people should start by posting flyers around town,
  coffee shop, health stores, etc, pay for an ad here and there, arrange as you say, a farmer’s meeting, this is a great idea… you can not count on the governement, yes, they did elect a black president here, an overall very nice guy, but how long did he take…
  the planet is melting, can he stop it… anna

  Judith, i congratulate and commend you for being vegan. I wish the whole world was vegan. Unfortunately, meat is entrenched in the vast majority of human’s diets. So please, rather than ejaculate your puritan lifestyle to us, suggest some ways we can make the world vegan.

  Hi I have been a veggie for about 14 years, I wish these poor dumb inocent chickens even turkies could have their say.People should all become veggies or vegan. I am from Wexford Ireland. we have a KFC and I think it should be closed down and there should be more veggie shops to eat in all over the world. Stop this crulty meat stinks you do not eat meat or fish it is so wicked. I eat a lot of Linda McCartney food I am also very careful in where I eat

  Although I appreciate the sentiment of not contributing to the mistreatment of animals by raising your own, I wouldn’t eat animal products anyway. The abuse of farmed animals is only one reason I am vegan and frankly, it’s not even the first or the most important reason. It’s bad for your health and I just have issues with putting a dead animal (or any of it’s byproducts) in my mouth. Think about what eggs are. They’re the placenta and amniotic sac of a chicken fetus. That’s still meat if you ask me. Actually, eggs are in the meat group of the food pyramid. And diary? It’s not natural. We are the only species that drinks milk after weaning and the milk of another species. Don’t get me wrong, if you must have eggs and you have the ability to keep your own hens who will be treated humanely, this is better than buying from the store. But make no mistake, eggs are not supposed to be in your body. I don’t understand why people keep trying to find ways to eat animal products when doctors are struggling to get us to stop eating meat and eggs because they’re killing us. When people get high cholesterol, heart disease or suffer from obesity, meat and eggs are the first things they have to give up because that’s what caused it in the first place. So even though there is harm reduction by raising your own hens (for the animals), for you it’s the equivalent of finding a cigarette that doesn’t deplete the ozone layer. Yeah, you save the ozone but what about your lungs?

  I think that you are absolutly right, the mistreatment of animals is the main reason why people should not eat meat at all…if chickens were treated in a human way, may be that it was acceptable, to have some chicken dinner once in a while, still, not that sure, even then…you may be right, always very wrong no matter what..as it is, because of the
  unsupervised, and accepted cruelty to animals, is really no hard choice not to eat meat..look at the extreme invasion of meat products in the supermarkets…ls incredible
  the amount of tons of ground beef, huge bags of chicken legs, etc..etc..In Toronto, where i moved from, you’ll see enormous amount of chicken sold in the store, they super cheap, $4, $5.00, and people buy…they can save money for a bigger tv screen,
  new jeans next door to wall mart, etc etc.. etc

  Actually I said the mistreatment of animals in NOT the main reason I’m vegan but, ok. I would never eat a chicken no matter how humanely it was raised. My point was that if you refuse to give up eating chicken and you have the ability to raise your own, that is definitely better than buying it from the people who are abusing them. I believe in harm reduction. Anything you can do is better than nothing. I refuse to contribute in any way to the abuse of animals, the destruction of our environment, the continuing starvation of the hungry, or the deterioration of my health. But not everyone is ready to make that lifestyle change so I say make the changes you can. Everything helps. I don’t judge anyone.
