Sad that you're not vegan. (Note to my girlfriend)

I'm so saddened that you think the the most important belief I hold in my whole life is boring and you can just dismiss it.

I do not believe that you have the ability to understand what I have said to you so many times.

You have been told and had all the facts about cruelty, torture, enslavement, mass murder and abuse and you just don't understand what I'm saying.

I do not understand why you don't see it.
I cannot get my head around what you say about this. Where you say " I won't be bullied into changing".
I don't want to change you, I want you to understand that when you say that you think it is fine/ok/justifiable to abuse, torture and brutally murder a beautiful living innocent animal, that it makes me sick.

It makes me so sad that you don't see, understand or care about how I feel, and more so that you just don't give a damn about the thousands of animals that have died as a direct result of your desire to eat their body parts.

You said that you were struggling months ago about the fact that we have different political opinions, and that you didn't know if you could be with someone who had such a different set of views.
Well how do you think I feel when the person I love more than any other says to me that she feels it is totally acceptable to kill and dismember an innocent animal so you can eat bits of it?

I wanted you to understand, but you just don't.
I don't know why you don't care.
I don't know why you think I want to change you.
I don't.
I want you to understand why you should change for yourself, for me and most importantly for the thousands of lives that will be saved from a lifetime of pain if only you had the ability to understand that you are directly responsible for all those deaths.

To vegan or not to vegan. A vegetarian dilemma.

Image
I'm not a vegan. However if Veganism was a religion, I would be a believer. Not just a believer but a preacher. I preach animal rights, the sanctity of ALL life, a meat free and cruelty free lifestyle, the Shame of factory farming and my disdain at those who consciously and knowingly choose to eat the dead flesh of other beings. My partner calls me a zealot. She says I am passionate, but can get so aggressive that i'm like a crazed religious nutcase. But how can we not be? How can we stand quietly when we see the truth, when we see the torture, the cruelty, the murder, when we see the reality of what the human species does to our fellow beings? It would be wonderful to be able to say I was vegan and for that statement to be true. I doubt there are many true vegans in the world. It is a badge many of us life long vegetarians have serious concerns about. For example, there are a multitude of definitions of what a vegan is on the interweb, however to me there can b

Cats and dogs.

Image
I have cats as companions. Some people call them pets. I like the term and have no problem with it. We share our home and our lives. However some people don't think of cats and dogs in the same way as I and most of the British population do. There are places where our closest furry friends are eaten. Is is not simply the eating that is offensive, it is the treatment of the animals prior to being consumed. In the slightly more "civilised" world where people do still eat animals there are often laws and some controls on the level of cruelty pain and torture inflicted on them. In countries where they also eat cats and dogs there is not. These same countries are also often the ones that have the worst human rights records, where they treat fellow homosapiens no different to the way they treat animals.  This is someones pet dog. It has been stolen, tied and bagged ready to be slaughtered for food by mentally ill people who think they have the right to do thi

How much does a pint of milk cost?

Image
A good question. In the shops a pint of milk will cost you 45 pence. But what is the real cost? Cows are mammals just like female humans, they only lactate when they have a baby to feed.    A milk producing cow will spend it's life being mechanically raped, so she gets pregnant and gives birth to a calf that is immediately taken away, just so she will lactate and produce milk for us to consume. This will happen repeatedly throughout the animals life until her milk production reduces to a level where it is not deemed financially worthwhile to keep her. The cow will then be killed. What about her babies? After she is raped with a machine and impregnated,  she will start to lactate. At the point of delivery, the calf is taken from her and either (if it's a boy) put in a box to produce veal, or if it's a girl either killed or put in a cage and fed until she is old enough to join her mother in being mechanically raped throughout her life and having her babi
