Earth would prefer to be spared from all the anguish that results from producing animal flesh — anything that has breathed and winked. Growing, producing, processing animals for meat and their by-products, not only involves pain and suffering for each living creature, but for Earth as well. Its resources are being stretched to the limit to provide this luxury at the expense of Earth and it's inhabitants, and there is also a toll exacted on the health of those who indulge in this lifestyle. Thus, the Earth is protesting with outstretched arms.
