Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 New Zealand Hare Krishna Spiritual Resource Network October First Is World Vegetarian Day Source: http://web.mit.edu/thistle/www/v9/9.11/3veggie.html USA, September 29, 2001: World Vegetarian Day has been celebrated since 1977. It brings awareness to the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. About one million people a year become vegetarians in the US, this report claims.

We are living graves of murdered beasts Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. We never pause to wonder at our feasts, If animals like men could possibly have rights. . We pray on Sunday that we may have light, To guide our footsteps on the paths we tread. We are sick of war, we do not want to fight, And we gorge ourselves upon the dead. . Like Carrion Crows we live and feed on meat, Regardless of the suffering and pain We cause by doing so, in this we treat, Defenceless animals for sport or gain - . How can we hope in this world to attain The peace we say we are so anxious for, We pray for it o'er hetacomba of slain, To God while outraging the moral law, Thus cruelty begets the offspring --- WAR ! http://www.hknet.org.nz/Veges-Beyond5page.htm HERE I'VE COMPILED HUNDREDS OF USEFUL LINKS 4 U: http://www.hknet.org.nz/vege-links1.htm =================================================================== This newsletter is NEVER sent out unsolicited.
