NO FEAR
A friend of mine posted on his wall the other day...

 His post stated....that he was now aware of the factory farming practises due to both myself and cousin posting
and sharing information and added that there was ‘No Fear’ of him ever going vegetarian or vegan...

Interesting choice of words “No Fear”
Fear of what exactly???

The ‘Fear’ of change

 The ‘Fear’ of being different

 The ‘Fear’ of not fitting into a society that is geared and revolves around the use of animals

 The ‘Fear’ of facing the cruelty that is inflicted on animals

 The ‘Fear’ of taking the responsibility for the things meat eaters are a part of

 The ‘Fear’ of being ridiculed, made fun off, laughed at and being dismissed as a crazy person for advocating for animals..

The 'Fear' of not having enough to eat... (not likely)

 He proceeded in saying that I was in fact ‘crazy’ for my beliefs and that I cared about animals more than humans...

 Two things bother me about that statement....

 Firstly.....Beliefs and facts are not the same thing...I don’t believe that animals might be getting abused or killed......they actually are getting abused and killed.......Fact...FUCKEN HELL... how many times to i have to repeat myself with this......

And secondly........

Interesting that he viewed at it as an ‘us’ and ‘them’ scenario. It is not a question of loving one more than the other or having more compassion for one species.


It is a question of fairness, rights, not exploiting others, not harming others, not bullying or enslaving,not taking what is not ours....

 It is a question of doing the right, kind, fair and compassionate thing.

Besides, in the interest of humanity;

The number of people worldwide who will die as a result of malnutrition this year = 20 million

Number of people who could be adequately fed using land freed if Americans reduced their intake of meat by 10% = 100 million.....


Vegan life style is not just about animal rights, it's about human sustainability on this planet.....

For an educated man I have trouble understanding the lack of knowledge......


If we are the so called more ‘evolved’, ‘smarter’, ‘stronger’ species should not we then look after and nurture others.

If we are the custodians of this planet shouldn’t we be more responsible and make sure we all live in peace and harmony.....

You don't have to hide who you are around me. ‘Just cos i might not believe in things as strongly as you do doesn’t mean you can't be yourself around me.’

 It’s not a question of ‘believing’ or the degree of ‘believing’ Factory farming practices and animal abuse in the dairy and egg industries are a fact. Whether or not people believe in it or not is by no means the point...... it happens....when will people understand that...

 When will people understand that if they chose to demand the supply of meat, dairy, eggs ect that they are responsible of the suffering of these innocent creatures....

 The statement should read.... ‘Just cos i might not care about animals suffering as strongly as you do doesn’t mean you can't be yourself around me.’......

So not trting to be offensive here, but again....not a question of believing.....It's a question of caring....and how much????
