1075:
In our culture, when ‘the authorities’ tell us to eat foods
derived from animals, we listen to what they say. We want to believe them, especially if the
foods they promote include yummy animal-foods. They advise us that meat makes us strong. It’s essential. It’s okay to kill animals. “Their lives are terminated in a humane way”,
we are told.
Animal Rights addresses ethics. It calls on two issues - slavery and killing. We dispute that animals are either ‘looked
after’ whilst alive or killed ‘humanely’. But the facts and pictures so obviously speak
for themselves. I doubt if anyone would try to argue that animal farming is NOT
cruel or that slaughtering is NOT cruel.
The authorities put it about that vegans want to subvert
Society. They don’t actually say this in
so many words, because that would draw attention to our opposition-voice -
they’d rather people ignored the issues altogether than try to dispute them. They don’t much care what people think as long
as they continue buying their products and continue to believe that they live
in a comfortable, humane world.
