Mon, 9 Jul 2001 10:47:26 -1000 We used to collect cow manure at the Naalehu dairy and I already told you about the fact that when one cow died the others would wail like human beings, enen though they were not in the same field. They evidentally were able to communicate with each other. Now here is just a story. The owner of the dairy said to his foreman that "we can't have too may calves". The foreman took it to mean that we can have as many here as are born. When the owner came back a few months later and saw all those baby calves he scolded his foreman and said, " didn't I tell you that we cannot have too many calves? The foreman then took a gun and shot the calves in the head. That part is true as we were there when they would shoot the calves in the head. Although I eat them, I am quite upset about it and so just as soon as I am not attached to freaking my wife and 91 year mother with my demise, I will go out as a vegetarian. Sorry sharks I just changed my mind, and please leave those surfers alone. My former teachers say that you will have to pay back your portion of pain that those animals experience when killed for food.

Hi Alton, Thanks for the story - and your teachers are right - there is no escape from the consequences of actions (thinking included). Knowing "who you are" only "removes" the targeted entity, an "I", the consequences will "hit" the mind-body nevertheless... But as arguments don't convince, that probably will have to be discovered experientially... Don't worry about carnivorous animals - they are conditioned to perceive some animals as food... There are a few cases of big cats, "converted" to vegetarians - examples showing to be cautious with labeling... Love, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
