Subject | Factory Farming and the allegiance to disregard |
Comment | I often wonder what kind of human has the gall, emotional paralysis, and substantial lack of compassion that they are able to bear witness to the horrendous living conditions and ultimately, barbaric death these sentient beings are subjected to. One might argue, "they don't know any different." To that I ask, if you grew up with debilitating physical abuse in your house, would you think that was normal and you would be fine because you don't know any better? If we are being honest with ourselves, the answer would be no. What if our babies, as soon as they are born, are taken from us. Chained to a dog house until they are sold to be killed and we are then raped of the nutrients our body made specifically for our offspring so someone else could get money. Money. For what? To drive a stupid fancy car? To buy a big house you eventually take for granted? To tell people you have x amount of dollars so you can make yourself feel a little better about being you? It's trafficking at the most basic level.you have advocated for this. You have sold yourself and your basic human beliefs for paper. Take a step back and think about what factory farming really is and then look at yourself in the mirror in a quiet room and sit with the fact that YOU have killed, abused, and neglected your fellow beings so YOU could have money. How sad of an existence is that really? How cheap your soul is to be bought so easily and at the disregarded suffering of others. Think of your most beloved relative who as a child, you thought hung the moon. What would they think if they walked beside you everyday and watched what you did to animals. It's a shame, really. We all used to have compassion, empathy, and respect for all those around us. I dream of a time when we get back to that. Sure, there are populations who consume meat and that is a choice we all have the right to bare. What's wrong with doing it the right way and having pride in what you contribute to the world? Where has the pride gone? End factory farming. It's what's good for all of us and something we collectively can be so proud to be a part of. |
