Clever excuses for the Soul … (09/02/2018)
I’ve heard them all — all the cheap (and often ridiculous) excuses people give for knowingly continuing to pay for innocent animals to suffer and die — “We humans are the superior species” (then shouldn’t we act accordingly?), “God put them here for us to eat” (as though any God worth worshiping would ever do so), “Mmmmm…BACON” (as though you could be any more slope-skulled), “But my ancestors ate meat” (as though neanderthals are in any way moral role models), “I did not climb the top of the food chain to eat grass” (as though your clawless & fangless self actually climbed anywhere to get to your local supermarket), “I have to eat meat because my doctor told me to” (It’s high-time for you to change doctors), “Humans are meant to eat meat” (actually, NO – we aren’t), “I will die of Vitamin B-12 deficiency if I don’t eat meat” (actually, NO – you won’t), “I only buy LOCAL meat” (do you also only molest local children?), “If we do not kill animals, they will take over the world” (You mean all those hyper-aggressive cows and sheep and chickens and pigs that we humans breed into existence? Seriously?!?), “But my meat was killed humanely” (there is no way to humanely murder someone who doesn’t want to die), “But plants have feelings too” (now you’re simply embarrassing yourself) …
Yep, I’ve pretty much heard them all, and not a single damn one of them even comes close to justifying the needless abuse and violent murder of other sentient beings — NOT EVEN CLOSE!
And so it is that with all due respect I say to all you knowing non-vegans out there who purposefully continue to directly contribute to the brutal suffering of the innocent (and ultimately the destruction of our entire planet) — DAMN your cheap excuses and DAMN your selfish clinging to a “personal choice” that you most certainly do NOT have in the matter (true personal choices do not have unwilling victims) … The simple bottom line is the fact that in the year 2018 non-veganism is nothing more than your open support of animal cruelty, and animal cruelty SUCKS … 🙁
So please stop sucking and go vegan instead, my Friends … Thank you.
