Circle of Life vs. Animal Killing Factories - 1 Jul 10

01 Jul 2010  Wiesbaden, Germany

Category: Vegetarian

I know that I have written many times about vegetarianism and why it makes so much sense not to eat meat. Apart from your health and the question what actually is in the meat that you eat, I also always emphasize that you need to have some sensitivity for life on this planet. You do not need to kill any life so that you can live!

It is fully natural that birds eat worms, cats eat mice and lions eat deer. It is just the natural circle of life if a mouse is killed in this way and totally natural that the cat fills its belly in this way. I also don’t say that people like the Inuit for example should be vegetarian because they need to eat meat, especially fish, there is not much more for them to eat, they are living in ice.

That however is an exception. In former times, when human was not as developed yet, he was used to hunting and also gathering whatever they knew was eatable. They did not kill hundreds of animals in a day, for that the hunt was much too tedious and they knew that they did not need that much. They killed whatever was necessary and could be eaten before it went bad.

Now it is different. Human has made factories in which animals are killed in hundreds, thousands and millions. Only in the US they say that more than 20 million animals are killed for meat each day! Who gave human to write to act like this? It is not only unnecessary, it is cruel and, yes, I will use this word, inhumane!

I know that the video that I am sharing here is horrible and maybe it can offend some people and others may be shocked. Please take care, if you are sensitive and if you are not yet vegetarian, think again and choose not to eat meat!

Today's production of meat is more than cruel. The natural cycle is completely destroyed and it's harmony is lost. Is it a needfulness to produce tons of meat that nobody will consume? Just to throw it away later? And for all of this hundreds of animals have to suffer in tiny, pongy cages? :(

I found it amusing that the British press recently tried to incite people about an "issue" (of their own creation) when they found out that meat being sold in public places was halal slaughtered and that they were not being told about it. As if one method of slaughter is better than any other - I wrote about it on my own blog.... http://monkeygotpants.com/?p=135

Thankyou for the video link. This is so unloving and the people are so removed and desensitised to their own feelings. Did God even create animals to kill others??? God created animals to eat dead flesh not kill them the animals are the cleaners, it is our poor soul conditions that created this error of life. If we can allow ourselves to feel everything inside of us, that we have created,we will know what is loving and what is not.

I have to say, I wasn't even able to watch the whole video.... I saw enough to realize the size of the problem. Thanks for raising awareness. Most people who have not been educated about this yet have no idea how bad it is.... I didn't even think it could be that bad. OMG... what are we doing?

I fully agree on this; I also believe that food and cloth should be used as per the environment you leave on. If you are around sea it is best that you eat fish it is most environmentally. Anything which is ‘unnatural’; like killing innocent animals for unnatural reasons, create an issue in nature cycle and it is inhumane and against the law of nature.

Words of Wisdom

  • God

    Why do you fight!? If you need God, he exists for you. If you don’t, he doesn’t exist for you.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion wants you to be and remain a victim. All kinds of suppression and exploitation works best when there is fear of some kind. Religion comes from fear and wants to keep you in fear.

    Source
  • Belief

    People who are really religious have a strong belief that nothing happens without God’s wish. So if you really think this, how come you get so excited and even angry if someone does not share your belief? Don’t you think that this, too, is God’s wish?

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion is the root problem of sex crimes against women.

    Source
  • Meditation

    Anything can be meditation if you are there with your full awareness.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't take everything personal!

    Source
  • Prayers

    The aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Words are not the only way to communicate. A look in someone’s eyes can express feelings in a much deeper way.

    Source
  • Expectations

    We often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.

    Source
  • Responsibility

    Don't take everyone else's responsibility on your own shoulders! You cannot take it for long, your shoulders are not made for that! Be happy, that will help others and yourself!

    Source
  • Sects

    You belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.

    Source
  • Acceptance

    Please don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.

    Source
  • Ego

    There are people who are very impressed when you make your talk complicated and others who like that. They like it complicated because it satisfies their ego to understand it.

    Source
  • Friend

    End a friendship if it only exhausts you!

    Source
  • Sex

    Why is a woman’s virginity or her sexual purity called her honour?

    Source
  • Beauty

    Beauty shines from within - not through Make-up.

    Source
  • Gurus

    The idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.

    Source
  • Spiritual

    Everybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.

    Source
  • Sharing

    In western culture sharing is not important. People divide and own. This is mine and that is yours. This is my car; that is your house. It is the ego of owning something. There is too much individuality. Share with others!

    Source
  • Rules

    If people forget the sense of rules, they are just rules without a background which leads to a blind following of rules instead of the understanding of life. See why rules are there and understand their meaning.
