1919:
The corrupted conscience of
all carnivores and omnivores should weigh heavily. How could it not? We’re so
cruel to animals, so supportive of those who are on the front line. It makes us
hard. Scratch the surface of almost everyone who sports one of these
consciences and we find a grumpy disposition. It shows on the face, with that
familiar, tired, hardened-by-life, cold, vacant, gobsmacked, de-energised,
detached look. You may not notice it about yourself but you’ll probably notice
it in others.
Science can’t prove the
existence of conscience! Fancy that! Many scientists, along with their non-scientist
supporters, believe that ‘conscience’ is beholden to the interests of human
advancement.
Vegans may avoid the
white-coat brigade, afraid of their human-centredness, and take refuge in intuition.
There we’ll find a much better truth, living within an
always-ready-to-be-awakened conscience.
