Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 I agree with Angie: they don't care, they don't have to, why should they, is the philosophy of too many people. > he would probably look at a flower and think that's nice... or look at a > pile of shit and throw up... he might pet a cat... he might give to > charity... The person I wrote about would probably walk on the flower, avoid the shit, kick the cat and tell the charity to bug off. The thing is, at least he's consistent, unlike those who weep in horror at seeing a dead bird in the road and then go to the supermarket to buy a chicken carcass for dinner. Those kind of people are more likely to understand veganism, but will stay as meat eaters until someone gets them to think about it. j , Oliver Slay <oliver@l...> wrote: > > , Oliver Slay <oliver@l...> wrote: > > > because they haven't truly understood... > > > > Well when a meat eater asked me whether I missed eating ribs I got > > the gist that he understood exactly that he enjoyed eating dead > > carcasses. > > and he does > > because he is detached from the pain and suffering of animals... because all > that is so far away from him... > > he would probably look at a flower and think that's nice... or look at a > pile of shit and throw up... he might pet a cat... he might give to > charity... > > but it is unlikely that when he says 'the flower is nice' .. or says 'that > is ugly' ... that he really is aware of the depth of that feeling... he > probably does not go too deeply into that feeling... and so when he sees the > suffering of animals ... he will not go deeply into the feelings that arise > in him... > > if he did... he would never touch meat again... he would change > spontaneously... > > most people become vegan when they realise what it is for an animal to > suffer... and what part all animal products play in the massive meat and > dairy industry.... > > z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
