In India, 
the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 
(PETA) is urging the public to go vegan and especially stop eating fish 
to help animals and the planet. 
Senior coordinator for the 
campaign, Mr. Nikunj Sharma explained the results of a year-long study 
confirming that the practice of bottom trawling is one of the most 
ecologically damaging and unsustainable ever as it involves dragging 
huge, heavy nets along the sea floor, which in turn empty the waters of 
all life. 
Mr. Sharma also highlighted fish as a health risk, 
being a major source of mercury and other damaging chemicals. Our 
sincere thanks Mr. Sharma and People for the Ethical Treatment of 
Animals in sharing the message of the connecting our dietary choices to 
the health of our planet. 
Let us step together in choosing the 
vital plant-based fare to save the lives of marine and all fellow 
co-inhabitants.
In an October 2009 videoconference in Indonesia, 
Supreme Master Ching Hai once again emphasized the importance of not 
consuming any animal products, including fish, if we wish to sustain 
ourselves and the planet.
Supreme Master
 Ching Hai : “Meat production” also means fishing. After billions
 of these underwater animals have been snatched from their homes and 
killed en masse, our oceans are now gravely imbalanced.
Stopping 
meat and dairy consumption and fishing, all the animal products – is the
 fastest and most effective way to cool our planet and halt these 
dangerous changes.
And now that we also understand the 
immeasurable benefits for the organic vegan diet, which offers not only 
better personal health, but literally can save the entire planet, the 
entire world. 
So, please join us, and become part of the trend 
to save our world.
