National Meat-Free Day

PETA asks PM to declare 2 Oct as National meat-free day

PETA India notes in its letter that ditching meat also reduces the risk of suffering from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, helps fight climate change by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions; and even helps prevent future pandemics. COVID-19 is largely believed by experts to have stemmed or spread from a live-animal meat market, and SARS, swine flu, and bird flu have also been linked to confining and killing animals for food.
