Theatre @ omnivore

Serious this subject is. Not really suited to a light-hearted chat, although ironically vegans must make it seem so. It’s serious simply because we talk about the crime of gratuitous violence (against ‘food’ animals) perpetrated on a daily scale, right across the planet.
Our position of disassociation comes close on the heels of harmlessness, as an alternative core value. That’s veganism. Our main concern is that crime is legal - we are allowed to harm animals and feed children with dead bits of their executed bodies. We’re allowed to tell kids “It’s all okay”, and they have to do as they’re told. Eat what they’re given. They have to ingest all sorts of animal secretions and body parts, in the gruesome three-meals-a-day process of living, without any realistic say in the matter. They have no power to choose (choice in this regard being something which we adults take for granted!).
What are vegans about? Perhaps the overwhelming sense of empowering childrens’ choices (of the foods they are eating) is probably as important as liberating the animals themselves. It’s all linked. The power game. Power-establishing is the hobby of humans. It comes with attitude attached, one which is as unnecessary as it is grim, and that’s enough to inspire vegans to do what they do. And we will do whatever we can do, to stop it. And the way we do that is to ...?
Perhaps we need to visit the theatre, but which one? Perhaps we need to reinforce or renew our view on things: theatre helps to enlarges on life, and show aspects we mightn’t notice. On Main Street are two we can visit. We have a very small theatre down the road and the main one further along. In the main theatre, the Omnivore Plaza, they’ve been running the same show for a long time. People find comfort inside - and vegans, players in the small one down the road, who’re animal advocates and rights activists, hope to divert them. Down the road ... where we’re obviously showing up, sending up, the drama currently playing at the Plaza. We’re spruiking the anti-show show. We’re telling people they’ll see nothing there, but for humans attacking animals.
Their show plays continuous sessions, daily. There are three scenes. The first is about humans having to have top billing and how we can run the whole show, skim the profits to empower us to determine the destiny of whole planets. It shows how Nature makes it all available, makes everything work ... for us. She runs it so we ruin it by risking everything for short term gain. Scene one at the Plaza shows us how it all works, the nuts and bolts of it. Scene two shows how we use energy and where to find big supplies of it, for power, especially for developing intellect and dexterity. It all evolved that way. And now where are humans up to? Scene three shows we’re at today. The unknown.
You have to transmigrate down the road for the denoument. At vegan theatre we show the point in human development where we’re having to now test our ethics, almost to breaking point. Specifically, over the way we treat energy. Particularly when the source of energy is animals.
Because of the animals, and the unspeakable things we do to them, we vegans stand up. We can’t block the omnivore’s path, but we can attempt to spruik our theatre. Our job isn’t to stop them ‘going in’, but simply to discourage their addiction to war, their voyeuristic enjoyment of war (in the enjoyment of another’s misery: schadenfreude, etc). Vegans discourage that. There’s something better going on elsewhere.
