@ Monica: Do you consider your fight to be about deaths of animals regarding food only? Because I've read some disgusting things done to animals in so much other ways like seal hunting or how they just kill every animals with no owners at the SPCA on a daily basis that I find almost worst since their isn't even a reason to do that except maybe lack of love/understanding/respect. Since your that good in raising awareness why don't you include them within your fight! Maybe you already do![]()
I honestly don't understand people being violent and murdering animals like that when there is absolutly no purpose. Food may not be a good reason to erybody but at least it's a reason. What do you think is the reason for this kind of behavior? Only selfishness? Are they only expressing their STS polarity or are they simply blinded and lacking consciousness of other consciousness?
Well, first of all, I don't really think of it as a fight but more as just raising awareness.
Yes, all animal exploitation/abuse is included in that. Most vegans are involved in myriad projects/causes.
I consider the meat issue to be at the top of the list, because many people who eat meat are shocked and appalled when they hear of abuse of dogs, cats or any other non-farm animals, yet miss the contradiction of what they're doing themselves.
I don't know what the reason is for animal abuse. I agree that it's even worse when it's for no reason at all. Just yesterday I saw a video (which I wish I hadn't!) of some villagers in China who tied an ox to a pole and then kept hacking at his neck while he frantically ran in circles. Half his neck was hacked off and his head about to fall off, yet still he kept running. This went on and on and on, with all the villagers cheering. When at last he fell to his knees, still they hacked, and hacked, and hacked. He must have been struck 100 times before his head finally fell off his neck, and even then his legs kept thrashing. If they were going to eat that ox, why couldn't they at least kill him swiftly? It was obscene. There was absolutely no reason for such blatant cruelty!
I found myself wondering that very same thing...why? I found myself looking at their faces, wondering who these people were and how they got to be so cut off from basic empathy. Were they young 3D souls, who were horribly abused themselves in 2D (as animals), and were now continuing the cycle of abuse? Or were they just of a very low consciousness and truly oblivious to the pain the animal was feeling? How could they think that the animal didn't feel pain? Worse, how could they know that the animal felt pain, but not care? Were their hearts that blocked? Or were they STS oriented? Or were they 3D entities who had simply failed to open their hearts and destined to repeat 3D until they polarized one way or the other?
Obviously, there are plenty of cases of humans committing such atrocities towards other humans too, so the same questions could be asked of them.
