Bacon is NOT funny … 11/22/13
NEWSFLASH: Bacon jokes are NOT funny … Regardless of who is uttering them, all they do is broadcast either a lack of awareness that is disturbing or a lack of compassion that is repulsive … period.
Ignorance would be an excuse for laughing at such callous cruelty, but for the mass of information online showing all of us quite clearly how pigs are confined, disrespected, tortured and murdered every minute of every day … often to meet YOUR demand for bacon.
This is not amusing to those pigs … and this is not amusing to anyone else who sincerely cares for our sentient animal cousins.
Now, I realize full well that most of you are going to continue to eat bacon. I realize that it is much easier to simply go to the store and buy your bacon without thinking about the enormous suffering that went into making it. And I realize that your government fully supports such violence; that there are currently no laws protecting pigs from human greed; that it is still perfectly legal & even socially acceptable to consume pigs’ carcasses and thereby actively support their needless slaughter.
Neither I nor your government will be forcing you to stop this madness, which means that each of you must decide for yourselves where you stand on the issue of animal cruelty, and what you are going to do — or not do — to stop it.
Of course, my Love for you is unconditional, and I will keep caring for you as brothers & sisters even if you choose to keep eating pigs.
Just please stop making jokes about it — and please stop laughing at others doing the same. No matter what your ego might whisper to the contrary, you are NOT that ignorant … and no matter what your ego might have you believe, you are NOT that uncaring.
Thank you.
