I'm going to explain to you, why killing animals and eating meat is wrong
for any reason.
Black or white, all people have the same right to life. However it was after
a lot of struggle that people were able to prove that black and white people are
equal. How much longer will it take to realize
that all animals
have the same right to life
as us human beings?
Vegetarianism is an issue which
has nothing to do with religion.
In fact it's above religion
but to kill and eat animals
Is below
humanity.
There are just three differences between animals and us...
Number one
They look difference to us
Number two
They speak a different language to us. Now please realize that every animal
speaks a language, it's just that we don't understand it.
And number three. According to us
animals have a lower I.Q. or less
Brain Power than us.
So, is it okay to kill and eat an animal because it looks different to us?
No. Because no matter how ugly human being is
or no matter which colour or a person is we don't kill and eat that person do we?
So, is it okay to kill and eat an animal because it speaks a different language to us?
No. Because no matter which language a human speaks, and even if a person can't speak at all
we don't kill and eat that person.
Finally, is it okay to kill and eat an animal
because it has a lower I.Q. or less brain power than us?
No. Because no matter how stupid person is
and no matter how
low one's I,Q. is, or even if a person's brain doesn't function at all
we protect that person's life
they have an equal right to live.
Besides
animals have a different type of intelligence.
Just like a doctor, a cricketer, a footballer or a lawyer.
These all have different types of intelligence.
In the same way...
animals have a different type of intelligence.
Who are we
to decide
which type of intelligence lives and which type of animal dies?
Some people argue
that if we give animals a good life
and then kill them at the end,
then it's okay.
Well, let's apply the same logic to human beings...
How about we give humans a good life and then kill them, is that okay?
How about we gather all the 80+ year olds in the whole world,
and put them on a factory line,
hang them upside down and chop their throats off one by one!
Is that okay? I mean
their meat would be tasty as well wouldn't it?
And 80 year olds aren't of much use are they?
Wrong. If this happened, there would be an outrage in the world, and rightly so.
In the modern day and age if someone suffers from an injury or an accident someone is
taken to court, or maybe even to jail.
What can these poor defenseless animals do
when their loved ones
are being killed
in front of their eyes and they can do
nothing?
What can these animals do when everything they knew this gone
and their turn is next?
They can do nothing.
Some people argue
that animals were made so that we can eat them
and that's why we have been given these Canine teeth.
However another thing that we have been given
is a Brain.
Our ancestors thousands of years ago
did not have a developed a brain like ours today.
They didn't know how to grow vegetables.
They had no knowledge of agriculture.
They didn't have a choice, all they knew is how to kill and eat animals, which is
why their canine teeth were longer,
and why we have shorter canine teeth.
We have a choice
between being perfectly healthy by eating vegetables,
and killing and eating animals.
We have a moral decision making power
for one reason, and that reason
is to show
the brilliance of the human species.
We can show, that look,
despite being the strongest species on the planet,
we have not misused our power.
We have got kindness,
and we have got love.
And if we fail to show this...
Then we should not feel unhappy when we see other people suffering.
We shouldn't feel unhappy when we see the Tsunami, when we see earthquakes, when we see
disasters where thousands of people die.
Because to be quite frank
we deserve it.
If we can kill millions upon millions of animals every single day.
If we can kill billions upon billions of animals just to satisfy our tongue, then
we deserve
every bit of pain and suffering that we get.
We can see, we are humans, we have got a brain. We can see the animals bleed,
animals cry, animals feel pain, animals have a heart. They are no different to us,
they feel the same way that you do, they just
can't stand up for themselves. Please
Stop killing animals. And please stop eating meat. It is better to chop off
your tongue
Than to chop off the throats of those animals
to satisfy your tongue.
Have mercy on those creatures for whom
you are god.
Otherwise the superpower the god you look up to, will have no mercy on you.
