Love Animals? Turn Vegetarian

by Ranjan Mathews in Issues, November 5, 2008

Faith, or matter Of convenience?

All religions preach the same theories with different explanations, examples and rituals which are practised as far as practicable to the dot, as the practitioners believe that they are getting closer to God. But are they? Most religious practices revolve around one’s basic instinctive needs– their correct way of “fulfilment”, and at times, their ”denial”. However, as a rule, homo sapiens as a species, being the most intelligent and slyest of God’s creations, cleverly manipulate and/or misinterpret all prescribed rules and rituals to suit his/her convenience. The same is true about consumption of animal food and animal sacrifices.

Religion And Animal Hate Facts

With the exception of Buddhism and Jainism which originated in India, almost all religions mention and preach about animal sacrifice and animal food in so many masked words, as if we need to hate and kill animals for our physical and religious sustenance. You may not like it, but the fact is that if you are a Non-Vegetarian, you are 100% anti-animal. Whatever defence you take to uphold your food habits, religious values/ morals, medical ethics, dietician’s theories, good old Biblical tenets or born-again Christian apologies, you just can’t love animals

Explaining Human Food Deviations

We human beings have clever excuses for everything to suit our selfish convenience. Prostitution is the oldest profession; Divorces are a fallout of modern societal evolution; Gay and Lesbian marriages are brain-chemistry triggered copulation or screwing without end-results, aka safe-sex without pregnancy, aka unsafe-sex with possibility of HIV-AIDS; Single Moms are economic signs of 21st Century Gender upheaval, aka kicking the balls off “man-o-pause”; Teenage pregnancies whether by group contract or excessive TV-tuned pubescent hormones are mostly Miss Adventures; while Live-In relationships are mostly pre-marital bedding without in-laws but with matters of money and man-mistress. Thus woman with her anti-animal attitude turns the kitchen into a  miniature hell to feed her growing children with strength inducing meat proteins.  In  countries like India pigs are slaughtered by skewering a hot flaming red iron rod into their rectums! For a change shall we do the same to these great slaughtering He-men and see the fun? Live fishes are put in boiling oil/water for that extra taste! Modern neo-food dieticians argue that artificial breeding of heifers, broiler hens and their scientific slaughter by electrocution is ideal. Show me a bloke who will not feel pain when electrocuted and I will show you a hypocrite who does not have any human conscience, ie. in case he survives that shock. Its a lot of hogwash, this thing about electrocution being painless and aesthetic. Does that mean electricity has both aesthetic and anasthetic properties as well? Then its high time our GenX tried it for kicks after cobra-bite on their tongues and Ecstasy pills at rave parties. Fact is, none of the table meat that turns up for dinner, is going to complain “about pain while dying” to SPCA or PETA. Anyway corpses don’t complain although daily we consume corpses garnished with onions, sauce and pepper!

Contradictory Behaviour

The religiously preaching humans will talk of love and universal brotherhood and rear cows, pigs, hens, camels, goats etc., with love and care, sheltering them in his house. Then one day he and his family will gobble it all up on some Saint’s birthday! What a love really. Oysters are eaten live after prising the shells and adding a little lemon. Yummy, this must be the ultimate in gormandising. In France, goose is force-fed to get big livers weighing several kilos for their pate foie. Turkeys are force-fed to increase their flesh weight before Christmas feast. Unfortunately there are no Agony Aunts or Agencies, Gods’, Animals’ or any kind Animal Lovers’, to investigate this pre-food fattening torture of poultry and livestock the world over.

Ingesting Fear and Pain

When lambs are tied together or led to the slaughterhouse, however modern or scientific the slaughter procedure is, there appears a herd instinct of fear and panic that takes hold of the poor innocent creatures. An electric shock might kill it instantly but can that pain or shock be overcome? As for the traditional slaughterhouses, the less said the better. While ingesting these horror-end meat products we not only end up digesting their fear psychosis, trauma and shock into our innards but also carry free radicals and deadly homocysteines into our system. In due course what our body absorbs is hate-filled, fear-garnished carcinogens which produce negative psychosomatic effect on our Auto-Immune System without our knowledge. Can such meat harbour these post-death fear-effects? Well, not even God knows, otherwise He would have told us to eat vegetables, herbs, grains and fruits with those smooth molars He designed for us.

Vegetarianism, The Way Out

Even a plant has life and an aura of its own as Dr. Jagdish Chandra Bose proved with his Bose Effect long back in Calcutta. Plants can feel love and pain. However, by consuming fruits and vegetables there is no bloodshed, or torture unless they are Bonsai plants. God has given us abundance of plants and vegetables. Still now when Global Warming, Tsunamis, and Ozone Layer Depletion is threatening the world, we are  destroying animals with hate and consuming it as food for our greed. Human beings’ inability to feel the pain inflicted on innocent animals who are lower down on the food chain, is something we only can change. Neither God nor religion can help us give up meat and become vegetarians.

Conclusion

In case this article has helped you to feel more love for the innocent animals we slaughter for food, I can only say Thank God for small mercies. If you are seriously thinking of turning Vegetarian, then Good Luck and Godspeed. All surviving animals will sent a silent prayer for you to the Lord. Meanwhile, make the world go green, plant more vegetables and trees. Give up animal-based food and start loving animals, the world will be a better place to live in.
