I'm physically sick to my stomach - crying - mad - raging - distraught - beyond hope?
It's been an on-going debate on whether you can truly follow a path of nature worship, and eat meat and dairy in todays world.
Personally I think no.
You cannot claim to love mother earth, and protect her, if you defile and torture the animals upon this earth. We are a far cry from our ancestors killing for survival, and using every part of the animal for ritual, clothing, and food - in this world of mass production, you cannot pop to the supermarket, and buy a chocolate bar, or a chicken fillet with a clear conscience.
Unless you rear your own animals, and honour them; killing only as a means for feeding your family, milking your own cows during their natural, non-hormone induced milk cycle. Collecting whatever eggs are left unfertalised at your feet - consuming without greed, and pain...in all honesty you have no argument I'm willing to listen to.
Today, I'm going to share a blog entry with you, that has come straight from my personal journal.
A trail of thoughts....of hopes...of dreams...of prayers.
I really hope with all my heart, that years from now, people will look back at how past generations ruined the world. I hope they will look and they will say 'Why?'
I pray that future schools will teach the war on animals alongside Nazi Germany - that 'Eco' will be an important lesson taught. I pray for shops crammed with cruelty-free products. A world where our oceans aren't in threat - where 'Sustainable Environment' is more than just a marketing tool.
I dream of children who run through forests, and can name the types of trees. Of children who can run home listing the wildlife they've seen that day, and running out of fingers to count them all on.
A world where the common question is,
"What do you mean you eat animals?"
A time when 'Cull' is no longer an except-able excuse, and the word is treated like the word, 'murderer'
A world where animals have won their fight for rights...and life!
A world of reading and intellect - where 'book worm' is a compliment. When ignorance is no longer bliss, and knowledge, not money, holds power.
That love will conquer all in the end - and that romance and fairytales aren't taken for granted.
We have very nearly destroyed this planet, and I see no change coming in my lifetime. But I hold firm to my belief that one day, even though I will never see it - the revolution will come!
We are putting the base of the foundations in place for future generations to fix our devastating mistakes!!
Tonight I light a candle for the 150 BILLION animals murdered this year.
Some of us are trying...
Tonight especially has been rough. My faith is broken.
We experience periods like this. Times when it all seems so untouchable. And then their are highs. There are feelings of elation at progress, even the smallest kind. Like an ever turning wheel, are emotions flow and ebb...
