Be That Someone

We kill or condone killing daily. 

We kill more than 56 Billion fellow creatures every year - even though there is no necessity for us to eat meat and modern meat has become a health hazard.

That this "meat"  is other beings with sentient feelings like love and fear, who have suffered torture and pain, is of no general concern. If it was people would stop eating meat. But they don't.

The demand for meat is so great that we have established gigantic factory farms to produce it. They represent the biggest killing machine in the history of man. 

This industrialised meat production is a major cause of environmental damage worldwide. But we allow it to expand.

Don't be a baby killer

If people visited factory farms to see how animals are cruelly force grown and killed or visit abattoirs to see how they are slaughtered it is often only then that they question the practice of eating other animals. Faced visually and physically with the reality, the smell of blood, the screams of fear, the butchering, only then do some people realise the horrible reality of the meat business.

But most people will never visit factory farms or abattoirs. Instead they will follow the food industry's tempting sales promotions of meat products not thinking they are buying dead body parts, the corpses of fellow animals and sentient beings.

We have feelings and emotions like you

On moral grounds I refuse to be part of the meat business. I think it is wrong to kill. I believe it is wrong to eat other beings. I believe it is wrong to expand the populations of other creatures in order to make money from them, wrong to inflict pain, cruelty and fear upon them. 

It's ironic that the killing and eating animals nowadays also involves other urgent issues such as environmental pollution, water shortage and human health. The case against meat is strong but so is greed for money. It's big big business for a lot of people and the food industry is among the biggest businesses in the world. 

We are intelligent beings

One can only hope that common sense, morality and compassion will eventually prevail and that this cruel age of gluttony will pass.

Every day someone, somewhere sees the light, realises the reality and horror of what man in doing and decides not to be part of it. 

You too can be that someone.
