If I said to someone that there was a place down the road where dogs were being kept squashed up in their own faeces all their lives, or living in cages no bigger than their bodies, and if they resisted death at the end of this they were having their snouts cut off and salt rubbed in the wound and electric prods shoved up their arses or their backs broken with metal pipes if they slowed down the kill line.
If I told you that dogs were shut into a small room with a man with power tools who would catch them and stun them, which may or may not work, but only to immobilise them, not to deaden the pain, and then they would be strung up by one leg and have their throats cut and bleed to death, and the one dog watches on as the other two has this happen to them first.
Would you care?
Would you do anything about it?
When that picture was circulated of the puppies being thrown alive into a vat of boiling water, desperately trying to get out, and you thought that terrible, well now you know you know how vegans feel when chickens are strung up and then dipped alive into scalding water, and how they feel about how sheep and pigs or cows are killed.
We have woken up you see, out of the cultural programming, which makes you numb, disconnected…and frankly, completely insane.
That you can hear these details and not only carry on paying for this to happen, but not do anything to stop it happening, is a sign that….however normal you are…that you are 100% brainwashed into an apathetic stupor which is allowing the torture of billions of animals and destruction of this earth to be acted out through you, all for pleasure, greed and profit.
You have time to snap out of this and be kind before animal agriculture has destroyed this ecosystem entirely, but not much.
How you can hear or read about this and dismiss it, when you have skin flesh and blood which hurts just the same and so know how it feels, and carry on paying for it?
How can someone else’s pain and suffering not matter to you?
Are you just on automatic, programmed, unable to stop yourself? Have you lost your ability to choose the right thing, to act from a place of kindness and integrity? Doesn’t that out of controlness and the meaninglessness and cruelty of the way you are living bother you? No…just numb…apathetic…stupor…not able to feel or care about anything much really?
They've programmed you to be this way, and denying your conscience and going with your own comfort pleasure and doing what was most easy for you is what allowed them to program you. It takes a little effort, change, but its so easy once you start and there’s nothing more truly enlivening than taking your life back into your own hands and beginning to live with the right intention.
The way out of it, is to begin to act kindly to other species.
Veganism isn’t a dietary choice, it’s a new way of life, based on being awake, conscious, freed from the programming and ruthless profit driven leaders who care nothing about you, animals or the planet and are destroying this world. Its about standing up, rising out of the darkness, and taking your destiny in your hands. Choosing the right thing so that, whether we as a species make it or not, you at least get to live the rest of your life truly alive, free and knowing you did your absolute best to be kind to others and live with integrity and decency.
