Once again, they discovered that the deforestation and fires in these regions are consequences of Brazil’s ever-expanding meat economy. Help us stop this industry from burning our planet’s forests: https://animalequality.org/action/brazil-deforestation Interviews with firefighters and local activists trying to stop the fires revealed that ranchers are illegally setting fires to clear land to raise cows for meat and planting soy (most of which feeds farmed animals). The culprits of these illegal fires, destroying the planet, all too often go unpunished. And fueling the flames is the global demand for meat driving them to clear more and more land. As the largest exporter of beef in the world, the meat coming from Brazil’s deforested land is making its way to dinner tables in every country, including the United States. These unregulated fires are causing mass destruction of our planet and the suffering of millions of animals, which is why we are asking the Brazilian Congress to take specific actions to hold the meat industry accountable for its crimes.
