No cause for worry … (06/07/17)
“We have been told that using animals for ‘food’ (or for ‘fashion’, or for ‘research’, or for ‘entertainment’) can be done ‘humanely,’ and it suited us to think that this meant we were not causing those animals great harm … And yet this is simply not true.
Everything we do TO animals causes them devastating harm, brings them unspeakable suffering, and leads to their premature death. Everything we do TO them is not only unnecessary, it causes individuals just as gentle and just as awake as our dear dogs and cats and horses to be subjected to bloody horrors that we could never bear to even imagine happening to our beloved animal companions … Indeed, the only difference between our animalian friends and our animalian victims is that no one ever cared enough to see the equally unique and equally wonderful individuals that the latter truly are. I know it’s hard to hold up that mirror and finally bear witness to how illogical and indeed downright cruel our attitudes are towards farmed animals, and yet on the day we finally find the courage to do so, we have no choice but to become vegan … Please look in that mirror, my Friends … Please SEE the brutal horrors you are inflicting upon the innocent … Please go vegan … Thank you.” ~ inspired by There’s an Elephant in the Room
