Impact of Meat Production and Consumption on Climate Change
Dr R K Pachauri delivered this speech in 2008 in London. His talk, entitled 'Global Warning - The impact of meat production and consumption on climate change' highlighted the worrying implications of meat production and consumption in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption, pollution, and food availability. These statements have triggered a worldwide debate on the role of meat consumption, and the necessity of lifestyle changes in the fight against climate change. Advocates for Animals Information Hub
As part of their work to inform public policy on animal welfare, Advocates for Animals produces technical and scientific reports, parliamentary briefings, responses to government consultations and a variety of specialist papers. Animal Experiments - Published Studies/Reviews & Governmental Reports
The abstracts and, usually, complete texts of these published studies, as well as published reviews of non-animal experimental models, and relevant governmental reports, are freely downloadable from this site. Animal Experiments Information
Critical assessments and reviews. The stress laboratory animals experience is greater than commonly understood, and experiments on them contribute far less to the advancement of human medical progress than advocates often claim. Animal Rights Library
An extensive collection of assorted online writings on animal liberation from contemporary and historical authors. Animal Use - UK Home Office Statistics
Comprehensive tables detail the numbers of procedures started, species of animals used, and the nature and purpose of procedures. Previous annual reports and tables showing changes over time are also available at the link above. Animals and Ethics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The issue of animals and ethics is a philosophical issue mainly due to the fact that common sense thinking is deeply divided on it. Animals exist on the borderline of our moral concepts; the result is that we sometimes find ourselves according them a strong moral status, while at others denying them any kind of moral status at all. BUAV Science Reports

Essays, lectures and book reviews on animal rights issues by this Associate Professor of Philosophy and Humanities Europeans for Medical Progress
an independent, not-for-profit organisation of scientists and medical professionals. Our goal is to protect human health by promoting human-specific medical research. There is overwhelming evidence that animal experiments provide results that, when applied to humans, can prove misleading or fatal. These tests exhaust precious research funding, waste valuable time, produce ineffective solutions, and delay progress toward human cures. Farm Animal Welfare Reports

Moral Status of Animals
Ethics Updates - Animal Rights & Welfare ". . . dedicated to promoting the thoughtful discussion of difficult moral issues." Origin of Speciesism
An essay by Hugh LaFollette and Niall Shanks, East Tennessee State University. This essay can be read online or downloaded in PDF format. Plant-based Diets and Cardiovascular Disease
The message could not be more simple: animal-based foods (meat, poultry, eggs and dairy) lead to high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, obesity and other risk factors linked to cardiovascular disease. A well-balanced vegan diet containing plenty of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, pulses, nuts and seeds lowers the risk of CVD. Universal Declaration of Animal Rights

An extensive report investigating the links between the consumption of cow’s milk and dairy products and health. The 40,000-word report includes over 200 references from the peer-reviewed scientific literature. The report describes the evidence linking a diverse range of health problems and diseases to dairy including some of the UK’s biggest killers such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
