If you think things are just going to magically and nicely evolve into Utopia, or that we will just meander in the right direction, I would rethink your beliefs.
And why are we waiting for the world to change?
Of course we accept it. I don't think anyone has ever thought otherwise.
Indigenous peoples have had to do what they had to do to survive. We do not have to continue to abuse animals. Think of Thanksgiving. Americans call it "turkey day." Kids make paper turkeys at school and it's all about "family"—human family that is. But the reality is a wholesale slaughter of millions of turkeys. WE DON"T NEED TO DO THIS.

Quote:I was reading a bit about Native Americans who were not veiled as we are and many lived in societies that are not violent as our modern day Western societies are, and they most definitely did eat meat. They raised turkeys for feathers and meat, they hunted and fished. They were not vegan. Eating meat has been part of the evolution of humans. do we honor that? do we judge it? do we accept it?
