Vegetarian Lifestyle - Compassion
from:Compassion for animals is the reason some people choose a vegetarian lifestyle.
Many people have animals in their lives. They love their dogs and cats, horses and llamas, parrots and lovebirds. With humor and passion and pleasure, they can describe the qualities that make each particular critter special to them.
Because they love some animals, they extend that love and appreciation to all animals. Because they see with their hearts, they notice the mother cow lick her newborn calf, the mama hen herd her baby chicks, the duck and goose lead their offspring to the water, the horse nuzzle her foal as it struggles to stand for the first time, the mama cat carry her kittens to safety.
In all of nature, we see parental rituals performed. Remember the movie about the penguins? Have you also seen the nature specials about whales and dolphins? Big cats? Bears? Wolves?
Always visible in these movies is the life-and-death struggle for survival that animals experience each day. There is a winner and a loser. We can easily understand each side of the struggle. The instinct to survive is strong. It must be so for the species to continue.
Nowadays we humans no longer need to kill animals in order to survive. Our bodies can be well fed and healthy without one animal dying for us.
Yet our cultural mores are strong. It isn't just the American way. People in most countries believe animals are here to provide for us. It is our right as Homo sapiens, high on the food chain, to kill as we wish and eat as we want.
The big picture is clear. Humans no longer need to hunt animals of the jungle or the wild in order to feed their families. Today that kind of killing is called sport. It is for thrill and trophy, not for food or protection. And nowadays most food animals are raised without compassion, in factory farms or crowded cages.
In ever-increasing numbers, there are those who see value in the lives of animals-and in their right to live freely. Today we have options. It is a personal choice to eat foods that are healthy for our bodies and do no harm to other living creatures.
Our planet is smaller. Our resources are fewer. Change is coming. For the animals and for us. Ultimately it may not be compassion that brings on change. Survival certainly will.
