Vegan Mentor Program Resource Guide Vegan Mentor Program Resource Guide Thank you for participating in Catskill Animal Sanctuary’s Vegan Mentor program! Catskill Animal Sanctuary has thoroughly researched a variety of topics and media to help you help your mentee on their vegan journey. They are organized by topic, and then by resource type within each topic. The topic key will also help you find resources about the four major topics relating to a vegan lifestyle: animals, the environment, health, and vegan living. Resources with graphic content are also indicated. If you are viewing this list electronically, you can click on a title for an active link to a trailer, video, place to buy a book, etc. We encourage you to talk with your mentee to determine where their interests lie, and what types of resources - books, internet videos, documentaries, podcasts, etc. - they prefer. You are welcome to use other resources outside of the ones listed below. However, these resources must not: ● Encourage illegal activities ● Promote violence or aggression against any species ● Contain unsubstantiated claims or ‘facts’ ● Promote any type of trolling or bullying ● Support welfarist approaches to animal rights (i.e. advocating for the improving the treatment of animals as opposed to the cessation of their exploitation for food, clothing, entertainment, research, or for any reason) Please reach out to program staff if you have questions about these or other resources to be used, or to suggest additional resources.

  • Meat Consumption and Potential Reduction for Environmental and Public Health Benefits
    MEAT CONSUMPTION AND POTENTIAL REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS by GARRETT LENTZ A thesis submitted to the University of Otago in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography June 2019 Abstract The focus of this thesis was to better understand meat consumption and investigate how a shift to more plant-based diets may best be promoted. The various environmental impacts linked to animal agriculture were explored and a movement towards more plant-based diets was found as a solution that could alleviate environmental impacts, along with the added benefit of improving public health and helping to safeguard future food security. Shifting a behaviour that is as prevalent as meat consumption is no easy task however, as high rates of meat intake have become normalised in many developed nations, being influenced not only by the desires of individual actors’, but also structures within society that encourage continued production and consumption. Potential economic, regulatory, and informational measures to encourage meat reduction were explored and after weighing multiple factors, the potential for information provision to shift consumer meat intake held promise. However, before further inquiry into potential information provision measures, it was advisable to first obtain a more thorough understanding of consumers’ meat consumption within the relatively understudied nation of New Zealand. Thus, the first study of the thesis sought to better understand New Zealand consumers’ meat intake through the distribution of a nationwide questionnaire. Awareness of meat’s environmental impacts was determined to be low and the most common motivations for reducing meat were considerations of cost and health.

  • Baby Boomer Vegetarians
    Baby Boomer Vegetarians By Stephen F. Barnes, Ph.D. According to some sources, vegetarianism is on a modest uptick or at least holding its own, with about 6.7 percent of the U.S. adult population (20 million) reporting they no longer eat meat, and 2.3 percent (7 million) claiming they never eat meat, fish or fowl—and, by definition, are true vegetarians. Still smaller, about 1.4 percent don’t eat, wear, or use much of anything caught, hatched, milked, or slaughtered (no meat, fish/seafood, poultry, dairy products/eggs) and are known as vegans (pronounced veeguns). Women are twice as likely to avoid eating meat than men, and roughly 10 percent of Baby Boomers are probably non-meat eaters by our non-scientific best estimate. Most of these numbers (see summary box below) are from a national survey conducted in 2009 for the Vegetarian Resource Group. And while the survey sample only consisted of 2,397 adults and used an on-line query technique, the Harris Poll research methodology was considered highly reliable (Stahler, 2009). U.S. Dietary Habits of Adults 18 Years and Older 100% Total adults 6.7% Never eat meat 6.3% Never eat poultry 14.6% Never eat fish/seafood 7.6% Never eat dairy products 8.8% Never eat eggs 23.4% Never eat honey 2.3% Never eat meat, poultry, fish/seafood (vegetarian) 1.4% Never eat meat, poultry, fish/seafood, dairy products/eggs (vegan, except for possibly honey) Of course, there are lots of reasons why people do not eat certain foods.

  • Reasonable Humans and Animals: an Argument for Vegetarianism
    BETWEEN THE SPECIES Issue VIII August 2008 www.cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ Reasonable Humans and Animals: An Argument for Vegetarianism Nathan Nobis Philosophy Department Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA USA www.NathanNobis.com [email protected] “It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to distance ourselves from our own views, so that we can dispassionately search for prejudices among the beliefs and values we hold.” - Peter Singer “It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.” - Harriet Beecher Stowe In my experience of teaching philosophy, ethics and logic courses, I have found that no topic brings out the rational and emotional best and worst in people than ethical questions about the treatment of animals. This is not surprising since, unlike questions about social policy, generally about what other people should do, moral questions about animals are personal. As philosopher Peter Singer has observed, “For most human beings, especially in modern urban and suburban communities, the most direct form of contact with non-human animals is at mealtimes: we eat Between the Species, VIII, August 2008, cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ 1 them.”1 For most of us, then, our own daily behaviors and choices are challenged when we reflect on the reasons given to think that change is needed in our treatment of, and attitudes toward, animals. That the issue is personal presents unique challenges, and great opportunities, for intellectual and moral progress. Here I present some of the reasons given for and against taking animals seriously and reflect on the role of reason in our lives.
