2 | Veal | The American Veal Association, for instance, passed a resolution in 2008 that calls for the veal industry to phase out the use of individual stalls.

8 | Veal | In addition to the unnecessary cruelty that millions of cows, calves and cattle must face, there are other factors involved in meat/dairy production to consider.

32 | Vegetarianism | Almost all dangerous types of food-poisoning (e.g. E-coli, salmonella) are passed on through meat or eggs.

36 | Vegetarianism | The notion of man's dominion over animals need not be thought of as a blank check for man to exploit animals.

46 | War on Drugs | The United States' "War on Drugs" has added considerably to the political instability in South America. The huge profits to be made from cocaine and other South American-grown drugs are largely because they are illegal in the wealthy neighbouring nation. This drives people in the relatively poor countries of Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil to break their own laws in organising the cultivation, preparation and trafficking of cocaine to the States. This has allowed criminal, paramilitary and guerrilla groups to reap huge profits, exacerbating already serious law-and-order and political problems. | War on Drugs worsens instability in South America | War on Drugs has contributed to instability | -1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | yes |
47 | War on Drugs | It has been suggested that ending prohibition could reduce the use of hard drugs as it has in countries such as The Netherlands. Since alcohol prohibition ended and the War on Drugs began there has been much debate over the issue of consistency among legislators with regard to drug prohibition. Many anti-prohibition activists focus on the well-documented dangers of alcohol (such as alcoholism, cystisis, domestic violence, brain and liver damage). In addition to anecdotal evidence, they cite statistics to show more deaths caused by drunk driving under the influence of alcohol than by drivers under the influence of marijuana,[70] and research which suggests that alcohol is more harmful than all but the most ""dangerous"" drugs. When the level of harm associated with the other drugs includes harm that arises solely as a result of the drugs illegality rather than merely that danger which is associated with actually using the drugs, only heroin, cocaine, barbiturates and street methadone were shown to be more harmful than the legal drug alcohol). | Ending drug use would reduce use | Ending prohibition would reduce use of hard drugs | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | yes |

Early and persistent use of cocaine or heroin in the juvenile years is an indicator of serious, persistent criminal behavior in adulthood.
