1025:
By observing Vegan Principles we can make a start to overcoming
our violent natures. Veganism shows up what humans have done (and are still
doing) to animals. More so, it shows the
utter waste of energy used in producing food from animals.
Once a plant-based food regime is up and running in our lives,
it quickly becomes obvious just to what extent we’ve been poisoning ourselves
and how toxic animal food really is. Epidemiological studies show that
ill health is closely linked to animal-based diets, showing the link between a
high intake of animal protein and the high incidence of deadly disease. These
studies are generally swept under the carpet. There’s a deafening SILENCE when
it comes to the dangers of using animal foods, not to mention the silence of
protest at inflicting mass cruelty on a defenceless animal population!! Ignoring all this just corrodes our ethics.
We’re led to see ethics as a rather threadbare garment unlikely
to keep us warm. So we’ve substituted
ethics for 'moral codes'. This allows us
to do whatever we want to animals, just so long as archbishops and imams and
rabbis say it’s okay! This is sad enough, but it puts us to sleep,
diminishes our outrage and makes us compliant. We stop wanting to protect the
innocent.
This is why Animal Rights is so urgent. The protection of
animals from humans is essential. Humans can’t be trusted with animals any more
than paedophiles can be trusted around kids.
Do we continue to drive animals insane on a mass scale everyday because
we fear ending up "Vegan" if we don’t?
