Opportunistic omnivores, not Obligate carnivores.
The Great Awakening involves waking up to the evil behavior's that are destroying our world.
Do you slit children's throats and dismember and eat their bodies?
Do you enslave mothers, rape them and steal and slaughter their infants so you can steal the milk produced for them?
If you don't have the stomach to commit these grim acts yourself, do you pay other's to commit the violence for you?
Each individual animal of the millions every year that are bred to be slaughtered on factory farms across the world has a rich inner emotional life, and a subjective experience of the world. Just like your family pets, and every human you know, these animals have their own personalities, behavior, and capacity to feel joy, love, fear, pain, and to suffer.
When you buy meat from a store, you are buying the body of an infant or adolescent being. Cows can live rich and happy lives up to around 25, but regularly have their throat slit between 3-5 years old. Pigs are as intelligent as dogs, if not more. They can be as playful and cuddly as any pet, but they are sent to die at 6 months old when they too can live to around 25.
And the animals are not the only who suffer. Who do you think grows up with the dream of someday working the kill floor of a slaughterhouse? To be covered in blood and shit all day, in dangerous conditions with sharp knives, and thrashing animals. These workers come from the lowest socioeconomic status, they have high rates of PTSD, Alcoholism, Domestic Violence, and workplace amputation injuries.
We can survive and thrive on a fully plant-based diet, so how do we morally justify killing an innocent sentient being that does not want to die just for our momentary sensual stimulation?
