Answered by cosaxteacher - Tue Jun 13 17:05:24 2006 What can I do to help make progress to stop all kinds of animal cruelty around the world? Q. I know that it is impossible to stop all animal cruelty over night. I also know that it is impossible for people to stop eating meat, buying leather/fur over night. But I am a vegetarian and this issue really effects me. I've heard some really horrible horrible stories about the meat industry. I've heard stories of cows being put into boiling water in order to "soften" their skin to make good leather. I feel really sad for animals that are put through these horrible pain and suffering.
