Petition to Ban Meat

A group of private citizens in Germany are asking like-minded folks from around the world to support the legal ban of meat. They recently launched a petition, “Stop Eating Meat and Heal Our Planet,” through Care2, an online community that supports green and healthy living. According to the petition’s mission statement, it will be delivered to governments in Europe and across the world at the Copenhagen 2009 Climate Conference. The group’s goal is to garner at least 10,000 signatures before the conference begins in December. Currently, the petition has more than 5,000 signatures.
