Global hunger for animal meat is out of hand. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of land conversion, deforestation, water and soil use, and pollution, to name a few. It is also the leading cause of antibiotic resistance and is responsible for the direct killing of around 80 billion land animals and trillions of marine animals per year. Wild Wild Meat is a critical product to prompt the exploration of the ethical implications of eating other animals and alternative ways to consume "meat".
