I have a lot of Friends who are Vegetarians and
always respect their view points and rationale. I have also commented to
RC in the past about if more people had to do their own slaughter, there would
be more vegetarians. All of Life is a cyclic chain going from the smallest
bacterium to the largest of animals and each one feeds off the smaller or
the less powerful. That, sad to say, seems to be 'Nature's
Way'.
While in school i did an English Paper on "Do
Plants Communicate?" That conclusion was that they do not 'talk' but they
do 'respond' to love and hate, or to them tenderness and threat. In the
past to RC i have also mentioned Debby 'Moon Child' who while weeding a garden
started to cry and i asked her Why? and she said the plants were talking to
her. Yet, later on she had an abortion. I never did figure that one
out.
Eating of meat will always be around and American
Society does not eat Horse, but others do. If the weak or sick
horses were not selectively culled the
species would become weakened. What really gets me is the treatment shown
these horses who are on the way to their demise during
transportation. Therefore, i think we Americans ought to get off our
high moral ground and stop trying to dictate to the rest of the
world our views and have centrally localized rendering plants thruout
the country (USA) for shipment outside our country to others who are not as
offended as we are to eating horse flesh, and from what i hear actually enjoy
it. I don't ever care to eat raw fish either, but i don't begrudge those
Japanese and others that do.
