Confederation and meat consumption

[Jim Kent +]

Just for the record, I personally do not feel offended by any one's views and opinions here,

There could not be a more important subject as to how Humanity interacts and treats other Earthling species, which let's face it, is absolutely appalling and I agree things MUST change before it really is too late.

I just don't think total abolition is realistic at the moment and that's not even considering the karmic ramifications of forcing people to live a certain way. 

Having said that i would personally accept and do support the total abolition of factory-farms, but that in itself is another ethical contradiction...

Such is the fun of trying to make sense of a planet, supposedly dominated by a bunch of genetically tweaked psychotic apes who have been manipulated by corrupt religion and politics for millennia. 

I'm not excusing the wholesale abuse of animals by Humanity, I'm just saying that "Vegans" must be very careful how "they" approach their mission with "us  meat-eaters" and always be careful not to slip into guilt-trip manipulations. And I'm sorry Jade, but in my opinion, posing the images you did comes very close to this.

I wonder what sort of reaction I'd get on this forum if I posted the anti-abortion images that have haunted me for 40 years to this site???

As I stated in an earlier post, certain words in this thread caused a temporary Green-ray blockage, but I certainly don't resent anyone for taking me there, it's great to shine a light on my own issues and i'm grateful for that.

Let's keep moving forward and perhaps at least find some common ground.
