Sanctifying Sentience - Vol VI (Jul 17 to Sept 17)

The Math of Meat …
(06/29/2017)
The math of meat is pretty simple, really — Killing some animals to eat their
flesh + loving other animals as heartfelt companions = inevitably treating fellow
humans the same way; loving the people we find to be ―cute‖ or ―nice‖ or otherwise
sympathetic, while shunning or ridiculing or even murdering the rest.
Labeling certain species of animals as ―sacred‖ and the eating of their flesh as
―disgusting‖ (e.g. dogs & dolphins in the States, cows in India) while judging the murder
of their equally sentient cousins as ―normal‖ and labeling the taste of their
dismembered flesh as ―delicious‖ is hypocrisy -- plain & simple. And just as
hypocrisy in one area of life will always bleed into other areas, the violence we allow
in our relationships with ―inferior‖ animals will always eventually find its way into our
relationships with the humans we judge to be ―odd‖ or ―dangerous‖ or ―ugly‖ as well.
Essentially, you eating the flesh of some animals while cherishing the lives of others is
a broad road that always leads to shame, aggression, violence, and war.
Please choose moral consistency instead, my Friends …
Please choose Peace & Justice for all …
Please Choose Vegan … Thank you.
―Human beings use
large numbers of
animals for the
supposed food value of
their meat proteins.
And yet the effects of
these proteins can
undoubtedly be seen in
aggression, violence,
hatred, and moral
insensitivity.
We can therefore
safely say that meat has
a highly negative effect
on human behavior. ‖
