Today the 1st of June 2010 the news is disturbing. Israel kills 19 on a boat loaded with humanitarian aid for the Gaza strip in International waters. The Gulf of Mexico is filling up with oil from a badly engineered oil exploration drill which B.P. knew may not work in very deep waters. People say that the everglades are deadly silent and divers have reported that there is oil going down as far as is possible to dive.
A mother allegedly kills her children in a messy breakup. A boy sets alight a boys face and chest with lighter fluid while he sleeps -out of it - at a party. The boys are 15. A man is charged with the alleged rape of a 14 year old girl and setting fire to the house where the child was severely burned. A man is seen fighting with a girl in a car at a service station where he allegedly knifes her and sets fire to the car. A passer by said the car blew up like a bomb and by the time she was rescued there was not one inch of skin left on her body. In the process of this horrendous event one of the bowser's ignited.
Today at my favorite vegan restaurant my friends showed me some prize winning photos taken in an abattoir. The live pigs head is to the left of the picture and his eye is looking at the viewer while at the right a pig is hanging by one leg in its death throes. This eye of the pig whose genes closely resemble humans knows what is going to happen to him and is staring into our soul and asking why ?
Another photo is of two little lambs watching through a doorway sheep being skinned in an assembly line.
I took photos like these in China in a market place where people have skinned civets lying curled up in cages while below are the live ones trying to claw their way out. In other cages monkeys and cats looked with their imploring eyes and desperate, frightened Pangolins crawled and curled up over and under, round and around in a cage so small it could not stretch out in. Dogs were drowned, skinned and hung by the legs in rows.
That market was like being a nightmare as our abattoirs are. We subject our fellow animals to such immense cruelty and we justify it as our need for protein. Humans are greedy. Human greed is devouring our beautiful precious planet. The precious and innocent animals and environment are being sacrificed by people more dangerous than a meteorite.
My heart is breaking. Please stop eating animals you can live without it.
