Meat = climate crisis. Here’s why...
The European Commission has signed a Free Trade deal with Brazil and MERCOSUR on June 28, 2019, giving a green light to destruction and exploitation of the Amazon rainforest for the production of cheap meat and animal feed.
This agreement needs European Parliament approval to become law so now is our chance to prevent it!
Please sign and share our petition: STOP Free Trade deal between the EU and Mercosur
OUR MISSION Health Save Movement aims to show how veganism can prevent and reverse diseases related to animal products consumption, enhance food justice, and decrease spending on the health crisis.

TURKEY Ankara Animal Save report from their visit to a sheep and goat slaughterhouse: "It is not about adding despair to our current despair.

Kalmar Animal Save held a vigil on November 18 at the KLS slaughter plant. On the same day, the local newspaper ran a positive article about KLS.

At today's vigil outside KLS, several transports with sheep, cow and pigs drove past us and on to the end station. So awful not being able to stop this nasty business ! Unfortunately it was difficult to get close with the animals despite the appeal to the drivers to get a minute 🙏🏻"
