Don’t stand on ceremony, just help yourself

Strange to think how immutable the collective consciousness is, but strange too to think how persistent animal guardians (vegans) will always be, because we’re in it for life.
It’s likely we keep up with the latest horror stories; we’re freshly outraged and ask “How can this be done to animals and people not react?” As our incredulity increases to outrage and then to anger we can feel a sort of power flowing through us ... but sadly it goes nowhere. It’s like lightening that doesn’t make contact with the ground. It doesn’t connect. It hardly lasts a second and then ... nothing happens. The crazy and cruel things continue.
With the war on animals continuing, humans know no other way of living that doesn’t include animal-attack. There are too many who are too dependent on too much abattoir product. For us, as animal activists, we regrettably have to get used to this. Animals will continue to be exploited because it’s easy. Someone will always be there to do the job for us and the fact is it’s all legal. What happens down on the farm and at the abattoir doesn’t break any law. This awful reality stands as a brick wall to progress on this front. “Animals’ bodies are for the taking like pears on a tree. It can be had - so take it”.
