Confederation and meat consumption

[Louisabell]

Therefore many pets end up being early third density harvest-able during their lifetimes. This gives us the feeling that it is highly inappropriate to view these animals as a food source, as they now have an individuated spirit. But not all animals are at this stage, especially wild animals who have an Oversoul to which they return to upon death.

The thing about this is that all of the animals we eat have been domesticated for thousands and thousands of years as well, alongside humans, picking the same types of traits (gentleness, sociability, warmth, intelligence) as we have with cats and dogs. They are invested in by their human caretakers every single day. Often, they can be very loved and cared for.

I should have been more specific. I was a strict vegan for many years, and I understood the unique context of Ra recommending small amounts of meat to Carla as she was rapidly loosing weight during the sessions. Also, when one has been eating meat for a long time, the body downgrades the production of certain hormones, therefore quitting cold turkey could have been damaging to Carla as she was in a precarious situation.

I do now eat small amounts of animal products because I was relying too much on foods with vegetable oil (not healthy). But I am lucky because I live in Australia and it is relatively easy to find sustainably sourced animal products. It costs just a bit extra for grass-fed, free-range, etc. I live in a city, but I can drive for 10 minutes from my house and I start to see huge stretches of land where livestock is grazing. I thought it was better to support local farmers that are using humane methods.

Factory farming is absolutely a blight on the planet, not just for the animal's sake, but also for the environmental damage. But the thing that is really worrying is the way that intensive farming causes an environment for antibiotic-resistant super bugs to evolve.
