As well as beef, lamb and chicken people eat rats, mice, dogs, horses, rabbits, hares, frogs, deer, grasshoppers, ants, snakes, buffaloes, kangaroos and crocodiles. People even drink blood or eat it as a jelly.
There's everything from animal ears, tails, tongues, hearts, lungs, kidneys, feet, claws, skin, even stomachs.
Bird food includes sparrows, larks, emus and ducks. Insects include ants and witchery grubs. Fish food includes egg roe, whelks, cockles and eels.
As well as what we kill and eat, the people in heaven can also see how cruel we are to our fellow creatures. They can see abominations like modern food farm-factories and how our meats are mercilessly force fed, slaughtered and butchered. Maybe they will ask why cruelty to our fellow creatures was never declared a sin in any religion or why there is not a world wide charter for the protection of our fellow creatures.
Perhaps hell is seeing and fully realizing the horror of our actions in this`world.
The irony is how millions of people in the world have and adore pets. It's not just cats, dogs and budgies. Nowadays pets include everything from a tiger to a turtle. However, most pet owners are also meat eaters and some are the very people who work in the daily slaughter of animals for our meat supplies..
How strange it is that we can love our pets so much and then sit down to a meal of animal flesh. I really think there's something unholy about it.
Fact is we don't need to eat meat or so much of it. We can be just as healthy on a diet of fruit, vegetables and diary products. There are also many types of bread, cakes, rice, pasta and noodles to enjoy.
Personally I would much prefer a plate of tasty Italian pasta than a cat curry, dog stew or monkey meat sate.
Help Animals Australia. I do.
