I took this picture 9/11/01. I have ones that aren't blemished like this, but I can't find them. |
We should try to follow their example. Look at groundhogs. They're vegan; they eat grass and weeds. Sometimes, they squabble amongst each other, but, for the most part, they're peaceful. Tonight, I watched mama groundhog lay down near the entrance to her hole/home. It looked like she was enjoying a nice evening before retiring to her hole. Just a cute little furball who will never use chemical weapons on anyone and won't fire any tomahawk missiles either.
So much needs to change. Many more people need to start caring about all animals: not just their pets. What's the point of loving your cat or dog while you eat murdered pigs, cows, turkeys, and chickens? What did these animals ever do to you? It's very easy to be a vegetarian who avoids all foods with eggs in them; that''s what I do. It's extremely easy to be a vegetarian. Why not give it a try? Educate yourself. Read a book like Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. If you don't like the first chapter (I didn't.), then skip it (I did.). The issue is simple. Animals are confined intensely in cruel conditions before they become food and/or clothing. The worst part isn't that they're killed, it's how they're treated before they're murdered. They are treated like machines. They are packed into warehouse-type buildings. Their keepers are usually more interested in money than how well these animals are treated. If meat isn't expensive, part of the reason is that they're treated very badly. Money comes before their welfare. I disagree. Each and every animal is worth more than all the money in the world. Life is worth more than money.
