Guardians of dogs & cats - this is for you

Back


For the many who work tirelessly to find cats & dogs homes, if you have not already, please consider adopting a vegan diet.

The only real difference between a cat or dog & a pig is that we have may have a personal relationship with the cat or dog, but not with the pig. However, there is no difference in the value as a sentient being between cats & dogs and animals raised for food.The only difference is in our minds, but it doesn't make it so. Animals raised on factory farms are just as worthy of our respect, protection and consideration as cats & dogs and they each individually have their own personalities, feelings, likes and dislikes. Sadly these are never discovered or expressed as they suffer in confinement on factory farms.

Business profits from animals suffering and most of society consumes meat, dairy and other animal products so society are complicit with this abuse and exploitation. There is a huge disconnect because the public may become outraged at the abuse of a dog or cat, and yet ignores the billions who are suffering terible abuse in factory farms each year.

However, the fact that animal exploitation is widely condoned by the public does not mean that animals are of lesser importance. It also does not mean they are of less importance than those species we have a personal relationship with like dogs and cats.

Animal exploitation industries do their best to not only portray "farm" animals as stupid, or dirty, or whatever will lower them in the minds of the public, but often time they portray them as being happy to be killed for their flesh.. Suicide food is the name for this absurd portrayal. Suicide food is a ridiculous notion, but it is intentional marketing by industries and those that wish to profit from animal suffering and exploitation.

A similiar type of portayal of human slaves was presented to the public many years ago in the US which allowed the public to consider a particular group of humans as lesser or "animals".

The message that animals are lesser and objects or property to be used is so deep in the psyche of society today that when this speciesist mistaken attitude is confronted, people can become quite angry and defensive.

But in fact all life forms do not rely on the judgement and benevolence of one species. They exist for their own reason and their value should not and does not have any relationship with the importance we place on them.

So please consider that if you truly respect and care for nonhumans, include along with your feline and canine friend, *all* animals. Consider not eating meat or consuming dairy or wearing animal products, for all animal products are derived from great suffering and death. If you wouldn't put your feline or canine friend through the suffering that is placed on "farm" animals, then consider that those "farm" animals who equally deserve this consideration. Speak out against animal exploitation.

Nonhumans love life just as we do. They feel pain and they deserve respect, rights and protection. We cannot truly say we respect and care for animals if we eat them.

Until all nonhuman animal exploitation ends, there will never be peace or justice. "Injustice anywhere, is a theat to justice everywhere" - Martin Luther King
