Avoid the vegan message at all costs

858: 

Animal rights and vegan principle is the ONLY subject universally tabooed these days because it’s in everyone’s interest (at least, those who eat animal foods) to keep it x-rated. Farm animal abuse is, after all, a huge covered-up crime. By keeping animal issues out of the limelight everyone can carry on as if nothing bad is happening. It lets them continue to eat animals and their by-products, and to hear no evil and see no evil.
            Take the average self-styled ‘vegetarian’, who isn’t really vegetarian at all because he or she still condones the abuse of animals, who knows full well that animals still have to suffer and die to provide them with their favourite foods. Vegetarians feel exonerated because the flesh of the animal is no longer being eaten by them.
            They are reluctant to admit that ALL animals get the chop, whether they lay eggs, secrete milk or grow wool. Every one of them ends up at the abattoir where they are brutally executed. Apart from kangaroo, non-farmed fish or other hunted animals, every ‘food’ animal is imprisoned for their whole foreshortened life in slum conditions. They are fed poor or even toxic food (which, when ingested by us, go on to cause illness). These ‘food’ animals have to live out confined lives and die ugly deaths simply because people want to eat yummy things and pay a low prices for them.
            For obvious reasons then, it’s in the consumer’s interest not to get too interested in this subject. Better to keep a slack conscience than to start empathising with the animals, because that would logically lead to adopting a vegan lifestyle.
            So, you see what I mean? This is such a tight corner everyone’s in. Not only journalists but teachers, preachers, fathers, mothers, everyone, in every branch of human society, all implicated and all wanting NOT to know. No one wishes to talk about the matter of whether we should be ‘using or not using animals’.
            If our vegan arguments were to be given any weight at all in the media, what precisely would happen to our society? Probably not a lot, because it points to the final humiliating disaster for humankind - that humans are, after all, not humane at all.
This subject shows us for what we are and what we have. The advantages of having such big brains doesn’t make us any kinder, in fact our brains have helped to make us into the cold-hard bastards that we are. And what’s worse, humans are predictably mired in double-think and unable to use their fine intelligence to see things as they really are. We use our brains to operate a sort of ‘forgetting mechanism’, to block out the guilt of knowing something which we’ve seen (via mass media) and yet have done nothing about.
            The trouble is, that the crime is so obvious (even a three year old can see it for what it is) and the Animal Rights movement has woven such a tight argument around it, that no one dares to face it, for fear of being shown up. The reason that the animal advocate might seem so dangerous is that our message is so simple, as if we have a time bomb waiting to go off.
            From the authorities’ point of view, this whole matter must be suppressed. The most repressive dictator couldn’t do a better job on ‘freedom of speech’ than we do here, in our so called free-speech world, by the way we gag this particular uncomfortable truth.

            That’s a rather creepy thought, wouldn’t you say? No one is actually admitting that vegans might just have a case to argue!
