WORTH REPEATING

We are all involved in spilling blood. When we buy meat or any animal
Product, including leather shoes, we in effect pay others to do our
Bloodletting. Just contemplate the dismal lot of cows, calves and
Lambs that we breed and fatten only to herd to their deaths.

Vegetarians do not escape responsibility, either.
To raise the crops they eat, we have to clear land.
The clearing of land destroys the various species habitats.
Deprived of a source of food, wild animals crowd out other animals,
or suffer slow death by starvation. Then to harvest the
vegetarians food, we poison, trap, shoot or drive off creatures
that also need to feed on them.

Anyone who loves nature beyond the level of “Bambi” must recognise
And accept its brutality along with its beauty.
We do not promote such understanding – essential to saving
our environment and its wildlife – by pretending that violent
death is not part of nature, or that we human beings, in order to survive,
do not play a part in that violence.
