100% Vegetarian

The three stages of truth ridicule violent opposition acceptance Earthlings 14:40 euthanasia of the dogs made me cry. 15:00 gas chambers full of stray cats, made me so angry. 17:55 I shouted NO NO at the screen and had to walk away for a few minutes. I am ashamed to be a human.  The screen shot above is from the film. It is of a dog being put in a rubbish truck and being crushed. The is the last moments of the poor animals life. This is only 18 minutes into the film. If you have a conscience, you need to watch this film and reflect on the contents. There is no other single film I've ever seen that can change the heart of a human being. Watching it through to the end is not easy. It broke my heart. If this film doesn't change your views on animal exploitation, then I pity you. If you don't believe that 1 hour and 34 minutes of film can change your life, then watch this. I am in 100% agreement with the following quote: "If I could make...

Halal & kosher slaughter. From all my previous posts I already think everyone will have a pretty good idea of my opinions on Halal & kosher ritual slaughter of animals. However halal & kosher go beyond the ignorance of regular meat eaters. It takes the obscenity to a whole new level. For any human (sub-human in many cases) to think that because their god said in some ridiculous made up book that he wants you to kill his creations is acceptable to do so, is to me mentally deranged. Years back I was involved in an anti halal protest outside a halal butchers shop, where they regularly slaughtered poor little lambs and sheep in the yard out back. I was called a racist, a facist and a nazi because I was trying to be a voice for beings that have no voice of their own, other than their screams of pain and terror. This is a picture inside a slaughter house. The poor creatures have to watch and listen to the screams of their companions. Don't forget the smell o...

Following on from the last post regarding my dilemma: The decision has been made. It is not really much of a change in my life but here goes: After nearly 33 years as an ethical vegetarian, I am not going to become a Vegan. I feel that an attempt within possible and practical limitations to eat a vegan diet, and to reduce further the impact my life has on the suffering of other sentient beings is the best way forwards. So I shall move to remove dairy products and eggs, as much as reasonably possible from my life. However I cannot declare that I am a Vegan because I do not believe it is possble in 21st century London without some huge changes to lifestyle; car and bike tyres are made using a process that involves animal products, and risks associated to health by not for example taking prescription drugs if required. On my last trip to the supermarket I picked up some vegan "cheese" from Viotros called Violife. The stuff is amazing. It's made from c...

Are you a Christian or Jewish? Do you believe in God? Do you believe that man has dominion over all animals? Genesis 1: 28  And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruit, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every beast that moveth upon the earth . Do you believe the next verse, where GOD tells man what to eat?  29 And God said, Behold, I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon all the earth, and every tree, wherein is the fruit of a tree bearing seed: that shall be to you for meat . The above is from the 1599 Geneva Bible where the word rule is used. Below is from Bereishit (Genesis) in the Torah Pentateuch : כט וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים הִנֵּה֩ נָתַ֨תִּי לָכֶ֜ם אֶת־כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב | זֹרֵ֣עַ זֶ֗רַע אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כָל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאֶת־כָּל־הָעֵ֛ץ אֲשֶׁר־בּ֥וֹ פְרִי־עֵ֖ץ זֹרֵ֣עַ זָ֑רַע לָכֶ֥ם יִֽהְיֶ֖ה לְאָכְלָֽה In t...
