Eating Animals

Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else? If contributing to the suffering of billions of animals that live miserable lives and (quite often) die in horrific ways isn't motivating, what would be? If being the number one contributor to the most serious threat facing the planet (global warming) isn't enough, what is? And if you are tempted to put off these questions of conscience, to say not now, then when?

― Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals 

 

Another day, another "traditional" day. Another free pass for humans to feast on poor animals' dead bodies. 

Another day, where most couldn't find a moment to look at the realities of billions suffering every microsecond.

Another day, complex systems are slowly in its unique ways working on eliminating sufferings. 

Another day, impermanence of life flourishes. 

Another day, I salute the few good men and women who worked and work tirelessly to reduce pain and suffering. 

Jonathan Foer's book was made into a documentary: 

While it is always possible to wake a person who's sleeping, no amount of noise will wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
