Sad for Ourselves


1924:

As we get older, as we reflect on our life passing, we might see outcomes of life-held attitudes, as having spoilt our life, not in the way great life-changing events do but the creeping damage from routines of habit. In particular, we’ve eroded something rich in our life by animal-eating. We do it three times a day and more, every day, year after year. It’s possible that each bite of animal-based food reminds us of the diabolical things we’ve been instrumental in doing to innocent, sentient animals. It’s sobering to think that within the next second, three thousand land-based animals will have been executed! That’s 20,000 deaths since you read that last sentence. The human population of this planet are mass murderers. How can you tell your grandchildren this?

[Animals executed by humans - 50 billion per year divided by 15 million seconds in a year]
