Want to Prevent Animal Suffering? Stop Being a Hypocrite and Eliminate the Meat From Your Life
How can vegetarianism stop animal injustice? Surprisingly, I get this question frequently. Just think about the idea. One definition of animal cruelty is “the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals, other than humans, for purposes other than self-defense. More narrowly, it can be harm for specific gain, such as killing animals for food or fur use.” Vegetarians and vegans do a great job at taking the important measures in this society to prevent infliction of pain or harm to animals for food. Some people decide to turn into vegans or vegetarians because of their belief that animals should not suffer for human benefit. Vegetarians believe that animals have just as much right to life as people.
People can fulfill their nutritional necessities without the need to eat animal flesh, so why do billions of people still carry on to participate in the infliction of bodily pain, suffering, and loss of life of animals, by eating animal flesh? Vegetation provide all the required nutritional vitamins and nutrients that we need to live a healthy and balanced and satisfying life.
Animal meat manufacturing is horrible. The treatment of animals bred for meat eaters is without a doubt unspeakable. Ask most people and they do not actually contemplate exactly where their meat comes from, what conditions the animals were raised in and what life was like for that animal. Many individuals don’t know and may feel it’s much better to not know (as they saying goes – “ignorance is bliss – or is it), as it would perhaps make them squeamish and think twice about eating meat in all round. Think about all the pain that an animal had to endure before it arrived on a person’s dinner table. Why would anyone want to consume the negative & dead energy of that animal’s suffering? Vegetarians believe we all have a right to a happy and long existence and so their choice not to consume animal flesh is based on the fact that it is cruel and unnecessary to eat an animal when we can perfectly live on consuming vegetation alone.
What people do not know is that many farm bred animals are force fed food to bulk them up. Many animals are injected with growth hormones to make them grow quicker and bigger resulting in more money for the farmers and manufacturers. Most animals are forced to live their lives in barns without getting a chance to experience the outdoors or get adequate exercise. Although meat eaters might not be physically engaging in the act of force feeding the animals, keeping them in barns, etc. they have to start reflecting upon their involvement and participation in the entire production and meat consumption process.
Just like any other business, the meat industry’s production is based on supply and demand. The more people who adopt a vegan or vegetarian diet, the less demand there will be for animals to be harmed physically, tortured and killed.
Many people believe that if they eat free range or organic meat products, such as chickens, then at least the animal has had a good life, quality food and freedom to roam. But that animal was still born in to existence for the sole purpose of being killed for the meat hungry consumer. Is this not animal cruelty too? You can’t justify consuming free range foods and say you are in opposition to animal-cruelty. Actually, I don’t believe you can enjoy meat or carry leather purses and wear leather coats and say you are against animal cruelty.
