We are so unconscious about our actions that we don't even realize the immense suffering we are causing to animals, the planet, and ourselves.

Today's fishing industry supplies land farms with fish as well. Over fifty percent of the fish caught is fed to livestock on factory farms and "regular" farms. It is an ingredient in the enriched "feed meal" fed to livestock. Farm animals, like cows, who by nature are vegans, are routinely force-fed fish as well as the flesh, blood, and manure of other animals. It may take sixteen pounds of grain to make one pound of beef, but it also takes one hundred pounds of fish to make that one pound of beef.

We ourselves can never be free if we rob others of their freedom.

In fact, we are designed anatomically to be vegetarians.

Fishing is not a benign activity; it is hunting in the water.

Through the practice of yoga, you come to feel confident and develop a feeling of wholeness and completeness; you are not likely to feel deprived or 'less than.' People steal because they feel deprived. They try to make up for their deficits by depriving others.

The fact is that eating meat and dairy is bad for your health, the health of the animals eaten, as well as the health of the planet.
