LE COULOIR DE LA MORT.... I AM SCARED AND I DON'T WANT TO DIE
SOURCE AVEC VIDEO
Here at Free from Harm, we work very hard to dismantle popular arguments in favor of eating animals. We link to scientific reports from major public health organizations all over the world confirming that humans have no biological need to consume animal products. We promote vegan athletes and bodybuilders. Our contributing vegan doctor thoroughly debunks the protein myth, and we expose the gross inaccuracy of the “canine teeth” argument (herbivores have some of the largest and most ferocious canine teeth on the planet!). Father Frank Mann explains why a vegan diet is the only consistent expression of his core religious values, and we introduce you to the most phenomenal vegan cheeses we have ever encountered (only 15 minutes and a few ingredients to prepare!) Finally, we get up close and personal with the truth about so-called humane farming, exploring the hidden practices and routine cruelties that are inherent to all animal farming. We show you why there’s no such thing as humane dairy, and why animal agriculture is the number one human-caused driver of global warming and environmental destruction.
We’re so grateful to be able to provide useful information from all of these perspectives. But not a single day goes by that we’re not wondering why, when it comes to the question of eating animals, people need anything more than the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you —
All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do? (Dhammapada)
In the U.S. alone, we kill more than 9 billion land animals every year for flesh and secretions we have no need to consume. Globally, nearly 60 billion animals are slaughtered every year. It is impossible to fathom such numbers. But one by one by one by one, in a never-ending, brutal stream, every second of every day animals are peering through the slats of transport trucks, feeling the last sunlight of their lives, which is very possibly also the first; one by one, every second of every day, entering the kill chute of the slaughterhouse and walking those final lonely steps, defenseless and innocent; one by one looking up at the last human face they will ever see, and no kindness, no mercy comes.
When we have access to plant-based foods, and understand that eating animals is not necessary to good health, then the choice to eat animals anyway demonstrates the desire to intentionally hurt others. No matter how much we may talk about kindness, no matter how much we may practice it elsewhere, as long as we demand that living, feeling individuals be harmed and killed for our pleasure — as long as we choose violence over compassion — then we do not live a good or just life. Far greater than the sum of our good acts is the trail of blood, suffering and death we willfully and needlessly leave behind us.
