PETA India sends rocket-shaped vegan cake to ISRO in celebration of Chandrayaan-3’s historic moon landing

“India is the first to land on the moon’s south pole, and vegetarian eating also originated in India. Our nation now has the largest population of vegetarians in the world and has seen an astounding 360 per cent increase in the number of vegans in 10 years, so there’s a lot for us to be proud of,” PETA India Manager of Fashion, Media, and Celebrity Projects Monica Chopra said in a press release. “In celebration of all this, PETA India was proud to deliver a vegan cake to ISRO today.”

Here’s how the cake was made:

Further, PETA India also pointed out that the use of animals for eggs and dairy causes suffering on a massive scale. “In the egg industry, chickens are kept in filthy cages so small that they can’t spread a single wing and newborn male chicks are ground up, burned, or buried alive since they can’t lay eggs, along with other unwanted chicks. Male calves in the dairy industry are commonly abandoned, left to starve, or killed since they can’t produce milk, and the beef industry is largely able to exist because the dairy sector supplies it with cattle to kill,” it noted.

In addition, the animal welfare organisation shared that eating meat and other animal-derived foods has been linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, and obesity while rearing and killing animals for food has been linked to a multitude of zoonotic diseases, including SARS, bird flu, swine flu, Ebola, HIV, and likely COVID-19. “A United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards vegan eating is necessary to combat the worst effects of the climate catastrophe,” the press release noted.
