Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 In another forum once, I read a post. An omni wrote that in the ploughing of the land for planting, several worms etc., may be injured. Can everyone remain without ploughing the soil ? Hence, this person felt that all have to compromise at one point. I welcome all your comments on this. This will be a great learning experience for all. Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, see the book: One-Straw Revolution by Manasobu Fukuoka: http://www.strawrevolution.com/books.htm He grew rice and other cultures without ploughing for years. More generally, it is truth that we cannot live being 100 % clean. Even in organic gardening / farming we may harm some sentient beings like insects and worms. But using this as an excuse for the hell that we created for billions of nonhuman animals that we enslave is complete nonsense. If we cannot be 100 % clean, is it all the same if we are doing 10 % good, 50 % good, 90 % good or 99 % good? Of course not. And if " we must compromise at one point " , which is this point? A canibal would certainly agree with this and say that he compromises at the point of his tribe boundaries and eat only members of other tribes.

Great post. Thanks. This gives me some good counter points should this topic comeup with other meat eaters. Vijay ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
