Imagine the embarrassment in years to come, when we remember how we stood by for so long, participating in enslavement. This is no casual, accidentally picked up habit, this is daily repetition of the guilt and shame and loss we feel, not only in complicity to murder but, for heavens sake, in the eating of the poor creatures we have so sadly abused.
Today, when plant-based foods are known to be so perfect for us, the whole thing of farming and killing animals seems so obviously crazy. Vegans probably feel that the worst trouble for us is in reminding ourselves we live as fearlessly as we do amongst such a big bunch of hoodlums. These ‘hoodlum’, weird-habited humans comprise around 99% of all humans on the planet. They are locked into the ‘me-first’ attitude in so many important ways, the most dangerous of which is in their inability to see things from any other vantage point than their own.
