The Jewish Vegetarian Society

On factory farms, animals are confined to wire cages and gestation crates or packed by the thousands into dark, filthy sheds. Animals reared in these intensive farming systems are unable to raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do anything that is natural to them. Most will not see the sun or breathe fresh air until the day they are transported to a slaughterhouse to be killed.

The world also now faces the fresh crisis of global warming, climate change and the spectre of being unable to feed the ever growing human population. The seas are being depleted of life, the land is being poisoned with herbicides and insecticides and the forests, once the lungs of the earth and sanctuary for countless species of animals and plants, are being destroyed.

The JVS is determined to promote vegetarian lifestyles by providing advice, support and information to help people with the transition to a non-animal diet.
