From the Paper:

"It is an undeniable fact that all creatures have the right to live in harmony here on Earth. Every living creature has the right to live every minute without fear, or be ill-fated in a violent death. We, as human beings, are placed here as stewards of nature. We have been tasked to care for the life of every animal, be it small, big, domesticated, wild, or extinct. This includes animals that are being cultivated and slaughtered everyday for the sake of man's nourishment. Common animals such as pigs, cows, chickens, and fishes are continuously being devalued. We forget the fact that these animals, like people, have rights. I write to you to today to bring awareness to the cruelty the billion dollar food industry brings on these animals. With these facts, I hope to enlighten that there is a need to fight for our hapless animal friends, and the best way to fight for them is encourage people to revert to vegetarianism. I hope to convince you that vegetarianism is a lifestyle that adheres to our roles as stewards of all living creatures."
