We have made this world a living hell for other animals. As author William Inge wrote, “We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.” One animal species (humans) has decided that all the other animal species are here for our use and disposal, even though most other animals have existed on this planet long before us. We mass-exploit animals for food, clothing, entertainment, and outdated “experiments” that have no place in modern science. With cruel indifference, we inflict an unimaginable pain, fear and terror on living, feeling, complex beings, and we don’t give it a second’s thought. Please realize that most of the animals who suffer needlessly at our hands, by sheer numbers, are done so for food. Please also realize that we don’t need to eat one single gram of animal foods (and, in fact, we are healthier avoiding them altogether). Please don’t be the “devil” for the animals. Please go vegan. It’s the very least we owe them. |
