Shouting about the disgrace of our society. We need to face upto the fact that killing animals is just unacceptable. Do something worthwhile today. Be vegan.
Why as conscious, intelligent beings would we still continue to eat the bodies of dead animals? Think about this carefully. We are a civilised people, capable of great thought and action. Admittedly humans do seem to have a self destruct capability but overall we can rationalise things out fairly well, can’t we? Then why, in the time we are living, is it not crystal clear that we eat the dead carcasses of living beings we have manipulated, tortured and murdered? People seem unaware of what they are eating and how that food has arrived. The conditions their animals were kept in before being slaughtered does not enter most peoples consious mind.
The pure fact that we kill things to eat them when we do not need to is shocking yet not many people open their eyes to this. We are bombarded with images of meat eating. This is the norm. Vegetarians and vegans are odd people, living out some sort of idealistic vision. At least that is the common perception. I do not believe what I said earlier about being a civilised people. I said it as it is another of those things that is taken as common knowledge and rarely questioned. We cannot be a civilised people if we continue to wage war on each other, continue to fight in the name of religion, continue to oppress people, suppress views, continue to fritter away money whilst others die of poverty, continue to be up in arms over news stories where only people of our own race are a part of, continue to accept rascism, sexism, agism, continue to live in fear of new developments, continue to judge people in so many aspects of their lives, continue to accept poor standards of education, continue to destroy the very world we live on and continue to kill animals for our own selfish desires.
Do something useful today. Make a choice to stop conforming in what will be seen as a sad era of human time and make choices that give you strength and optimism. Go vegan today, then you can start working on the rest secure in the knowledge that you are a better human being.
I used to eat meat, wear leather and basically had the same contempt for animals which I see on a daily basis everywhere I look. I became a vegetarian after seeing newborn lambs prancing around and not wanting to be responsible for them being murdered. I became a vegan when I was thinking of breastfeeding my son and finally understood what the dairy industry is all about. What I know now, I did not know then. No longer living in ignorance, I have no option but to write this blog.
