This might anger/upset some people, its the truth though. Im going to try put this into words as best that i can. This afternoon while driving home on the Westgate, a truck stopped next to me, at first I didnt realise what was in it, but on closer inspection found it to be jam packed (no exaggeration) of baby calves - no older than 3 months old, distressed beyond words. After almost veering into other traffic and wiping my eyes I saw one little calf being trampled on by all the others who were bigger than him, he look at me like please lady, please help me, I dont want to be hurt anymore. My heart is broken, where did we go wrong to get to this point where it is ok to take a baby away from its mother at 3 months old and kill it for veal. That veal feels, it knows, the anxiety on their faces was heart wrenching. Sentient beings EG//YOU, ME, COWS, PIGS, CHICKENS feel! we feel and perceive emotions, build relationships, remember faces and know our names, most of which all mentioned above can do too. Humans did not evolve to eat meat, because we haven’t evolved to do anything, and although eating meat may have contributed to our success as a species, we cannot use evolution as justification for moral behaviour. Just because our ancestors would have done so 250,000 years ago as they fought tooth and nail to survive in a cold cruel world does not mean that we should or that it would be right for us to do so now. If we have evolved to “do” anything, then we have certainly evolved to think beyond our basest impulses and to act as something more than creatures driven by unthinking instincts. - Tim Gier Before you start thinking off in tangents like but meat tastes so good think about these fun facts; 1. Meat rots in your gut and is one of the highest causes of High blood pressure and heart disease. 2. a lot of cuts of meat are held together with meat glue aka transglutaminase which is produced through the fermentation of bacteria. 3. eating meat increases your risk of type 2 diabetes. 4. meat consumptions disrupts brain and colon function. 5. It is full of synthetically produced hormones - because greed overpowers health. My heart is broken, these living creatures didnt deserve a life like this, they didnt ask for it, but we gave it to them anyway and take it away just as easily because somewhere in evolution, we decided that we were better than any other earthling and we decide their fate. NO. It isnt fair and I am hurting for them. Make informed ethical choices, Have Heart.
