1615:
Vegan-living is a big answer
to a lot of difficult questions. Our exploring has paid off. But we’re as sad
as hell.
It’s not much comfort
discovering a solution when there’s no likelihood of others appreciating it,
for then it simply remains a comfort to the discoverer but to few others. And
if that discovery represents a liberation for enslaved animals, it's no help to
them if the humans who keep them locked up haven’t been convinced, as we have.
How do we get over the
sadness of the situation of exploited animals? We live amongst people who are
so shut off from their own compassion that they can’t empathise with the farm animals,
if only because their lack of empathy conveniently allows them to eat and enjoy
animal foods.
These days we don’t have to
be well educated on the subject to know what happens to those animals. We
vegans might feel sad at the thought of this, but we should be equally sad for
the human who is shutting off their 'enlightened' side so that they can enjoy
those food and clothing products which issue from the dark side.
