For decades, scientists have warned of zoonotic infections, and nothing was done.\r\n\r\nAnimal agriculture is a major cause of the climate crisis.\r\n\r\nCanada should lead in taking decisive action.  As concerned citizens we demand:\r\n\r\nThe government fund research in:\r\n\r\n- The cause of zoonotic infections, and the best measures to mitigate risk\r\n- The relation of animal agriculture to the climate crisis, and the best measures to attenuate the degradation of the planet.\r\n- The results should be made public, and decisive action based on scientific findings should be implemented.\r\n\r\nPlant-based meal options \r\n- should be offered at all public cafeterias under federal, provincial, and municipal jurisdiction, such as hospitals, universities, senior centres, and schools.   \r\n- the government should facilitate and promote the accessibility of plant-based meal options everywhere.\r\n\r\nAdequate planning is not a luxury, it is an imperative.\r\n\r\nImproving health and longevity of citizens, reducing cruelty to animals, and saving the planet and all of its inhabitants from calamitous degradation is our moral responsibility.  \r\n\r\nThe government must take decisive action before it is too late.<\/textarea>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id='dk_speakout_markdown'>You can add formatting using markdown syntax - <a

and vegans now account for nearly 10 percent of Canada\u2019s population, and their increased presence is forcing the restaurant and meat production industries to consider new approaches. According to research from Dalhousie University, there are 2.3 million vegetarians in Canada, up from 900,000 15 years ago. Another 850,000 people consider themselves vegan. Those two numbers add up to 9.4 per cent of the Canadian population.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 and 2020, these numbers have increased.
