They share the same Contentment in the moment; they share the same Joy in being alive on the ride … And yet they are headed for two very different destinations; and they will know two very different experiences of longing & pain when that ride comes to an end.

Look into their eyes and tell them, “I know there are lots of healthy & delicious plant-based foods I could eat instead, but I would still rather eat you” … Look into their eyes and tell them, “I know you don’t want to die, but I am going to pay someone else to kill you anyway” … Look into their eyes and tell them, “I’m sorry you lived a shortened, enslaved, abused and tortured life, but I’m going to support the industry that does all of that to you, just because I like the way your flesh tastes” … Look into their eyes and tell them, “I dearly Love my pet, but your life just doesn’t matter as much” … Go ahead and look them in the eye and try to tell them those things … Good luck with that.” (inspired by Jenn V Keller-Lowe)
