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.
