Nations was founded. \u00a0There is a proven correlation between animal abuse and other, more aggressive violence, towards people.\u00a0 Mahatma Gandhi believed eating meat causes violence, even wars.\u00a0 Promoting a United Nations Convention Against Speciesism may be one of the greatest contributors to World
