I still don't get it.
It hurts.... How can a human see a creature in pain, and ignore it?
Everyday I live my life. I don't spend every minute thinking about animal sufferage.
I eat healthy. I eat well. I eat lots. I don't think much about it, but I don't eat animals. I don't eat animal bi-products.
If I think an animal may have suffereded in the production of my food, I don't eat it.
It's simple.
I just don't eat it.
I don't buy it, I don't want it, I just don't do it.
I don't bring it up often, but when people start to talk about me being a vegan, they always say, "I could never be a vegetarian."
Why not? "Because it tastes good."
SELFISH!
I don't think about it often. I go to the supermarket, I know what I will eat and what I won't eat. Just like everyone does.
How can someone say any life is better than another.
Every life is special. Every life is important.
I can't stand the thought that there are so many lives suffering. So maybe lives ending. Every day. Every minute. And I can't do anything to stop it.
So what do I do? I just don't support it.
I'm not going to give my money to the cattle industry. The diary industrty kills as many animals, so they're not going to get my hard earned cash.
In my truest heart of hearts. I have faith in our planet and in all of our human family.
One day...
And so I send this out.
I send this out into the universe...
Next time you see an animal; a cat a dog, a pig or a mouse: look into their eyes. If you don't see a heart. If you can't see their soul. If you can't see their life, their spirit, the love they possess. Then maybe... then maybe I'm wrong.
But I want to tell you that I see it. I know it's there. The life, the spirit. It's so special.
And it's killed, disrespected. Murdered. Desecrated. How is one life less important than the next? How can that life be made your snack - then forgotten?
I ask you: next time you are out, feeling peckish. Make the right choice. Be compassionate. Be honest with yourself.
Don't be selfish.
