It is just too tasty, that I cannot live without meat. Burger, piza, fried chicken..And meat ist also very healthy..What a bullshit! But thank you for your attention :-)

Almost five months ago my girlfirend and I decided not to eat meat anymore. It was not a decision of health but rather to be able to take a look in our own eyes without a having bad feeling. Before we decided to eat only vegetarian food, we have eaten lots of meet, three times a day. We simply were not aware of the suffering that was needed to meet our needs. Until we aksed ourselfs the all-important question:

Are we able to slaughter animals to eat them?

Of course the answer was no. But if we go to the supermarket and would buy some meat, maybe we didn't slaughter that animal by ourself but we are ok with the fact that someone else will do the job for us.

At this point we were not in pure with ourself anymore. Because we recognized that we people are responsible for what products supermarkets are selling. Supermarkets respond to the buying behaviour of its customers and cusomize their products to the clients needs. If nobody would buy chips starting from tomorrow they would disappear in a few weeks.

We do have a dog and two cats and we love them very much. But how can we eat animals and be so caring to our own pets at the same time? So we haved stopped to make any difference between dogs, cats, cows, pigs and so on. The life of an animal became as much valuable as our own life.

„There are two different categories of animals: The first category thinks that there are two kind of animals and the other has to suffer from them“

Humans are animals, animals are humans

Of course the headline is only conditionally applicable. But if we look at some emotions we will see that animals do have the same feelings like humans. They feel love, joy, calm but also fear, sorrow and anger.

Some examples:

Love

This cute little baby elephant loves to cuddle

Joy

For the first time after winter time cows has been left in the pasture. Even the older cows feel like young calfs, wonderful!

This is how happy pigs are looking

Sorrow

This bird is mouring over its beloved friend. He stayes for few hours and didn't move even when it was getting touched

Fear

This abused dog was rescued by a romanian shelter. As soon they haved tried to stroke the dog for the first time he was crying for his life.

As long as there are slaughterhouses there will be battlefields

How can we live together in peace, when we are slaughtering the inhabitant of the earth? We reap what we sow. Each of us is responsible for the world of tomorrow.

Start with yourself

If you are unsatisfied with the current situation of the world start to change. Stop pointing with your finger at somebody else. Neither the large corporations, nor the banks nor your neighbours are guilty that the world is teetering on the brink of destruction. It is not a question of guilt but rather a question of responsibility. Start to assume responsibility for your own life and decisions.

Never forget: While you are pointing a finger at somebody else, three fingers are pointing at yourself at the same time. Give it a try!

So...Let's create a new world! Together we can make it happen!

Thank you very much for your time

Warm Regards

Babak

Great article, the point is not to completely renounce eating meat, it is to live with awareness and not to eat meat as a main protein source, as it is in most of the parts in the world.
Anyway, keep up writing those kind of posts, awareness needs to become spread all around, it is the least we can do!

Seems like we respond each other at the same time, niiice :-) And thank you for your feedback! Awareness will be the most important issue for our survival.

Everyday you live something must die. The whole natural world is eating itself.

That is just an excuse to continue as before.

Its actually a fact. Even plants are a life essence. Some plants are actually carnivors themselves. Most animals and reptiles kill for food. But hey keep killing plants

I'm on your side mate and share the same opinion with you. But somewhere we have to start to change. If you could reduce the suffering of the would with your action, would you do it? Animals kill for food but they eat what they need and are not wasteful. They are in balance with their environment unlike human.
