Vegan Well: Where do you draw the line, and why even draw a line?:
Do you love your domestic pets. Do you love your children. Why do you draw the line and not hold all life sacred? Animals, all of them, are from different nations, different species. They have relationships, joy, know pain and suffereing. How can anyone draw the line and why even draw one. Holding all sentient life sacred, doing no harm, is living balanced, peaceful and healthy lives and in harmony and greater diversity of the community of creation and all its beauty. There are no lines to be drawn, live in unity consciousness and no lines form, just appreciation for the diversity without the predatory need to exploint, harm and cause yourself much harm in the process. There is a way to have it all, to live happy, healthy and joyful lives. And there is the status quo we live with now, the 'consensus reality' where eating animals and drinking or eating dairy products, and wearing animals, experimenting on animals, is as normal as drinking water daily or breathing air. And we wonder why we have so much disease, violence, environmental destruction, depression, anger, opposition, and war. Eating and drinking violence and abject cruelty every single day, of couse we have all these condition. How could it be otherwise? You are what you eat. Drawing lines only creates seperation and excuses to act in seperate fragmented ways, with the consequence of disease, disorder and dispair. Look around at our world? Then watch any one of the videos that show billions of animals mistreated every single hour in the hell hole factory farms we accept and allow. Yes, there is a demand and if you are one, just one of the people creating this demand, you are part of the problem. No half measures, no animal welfare, or going vegetarian, just stop drawing a line. Embrace these animals as your brothes and sisters in the diversity of creation and be free. You will never look back and you will grow healthy along the way, physically, emotionally, mentally and most important, spiritually. Become a vegan today.

Our food system is inefficient, cruel and we are wasting our resources. We will run out of clean water, deplete the soil of nutrients and collapse the ecosystem. We are destroying the tropical rainforest, the lungs of the planet, and home to millions (if not trillions) of species of life forms that took millions of years of evolution to create. We are growing food on this land to feed the animals we eat (for the most part.) We are creating mass extinction and we are not immune to extinction ourselves as we are dealing in a land of finite resources. Humans are starving right now because we choose to feed their food to the animals we eat. Approx. 50,000 litres of drinking water goes into producing 1 kilo of beef or a gallon of milk. It takes approximately 10 times more grain to feed a "food" animal to eat it than it does to just feed the grain directly to the human being. We can feed 7 billion humans much more efficiently than 100 billion or more land animals. And we are ignoring our moral obligation to protect innocent animals and people who cannot protect themselves. Yes animals in the wild eat flesh but they do not breed in captivity and confine their prey to spaces indoors without space enough to turn around or be comfortable at all during the entire life. These animals are living a life of torture. No wild animal is so cruel to abuse, torture, confine, neglect, overcrowd, beat, cram in cages so small they never move, allow them no exercise, no sunshine, EVER, no movement even! Cut up into pieces while conscious, skin them alive, boil alive, etc etc etc This is common the world over. 100 billion a year we slaughter!!!!! and we kill another 1-3 trillion in the oceans. Non human animals are not capable of cultivating plant crops, however we are. We do not need animal products to survive. Some animals do need other animals to survive we are not one of them - many have proven this. Our intestines are long like herbivores and we have a back up emergency system we are abusing. Animal protein and fat creates disease in our body where plant food does not. We can derive all we need from plants and bacteria, rather than have the animals process this for us. If we focus on feeding the people directly we stop the torture and slaughter. If you eat meat dairy or eggs and you watch how the pigs, cows, chickens, farmed fish etc live you, will see they suffer immensely. When we take from the oceans we risk the lives of the sharks and whales who are essential to the ocean ecosystem. We need to keep it in balance. And the taste for flesh is not worth mass suffering beyond comprehension. We can learn to eat the plants. If you don't have the stomach to watch these videos on how the "food" animals live - it is because you already know it is creating suffering for them. Please stop supporting animal cruelty immediately! We can eat if we grow food for us rather than the animals we breed into existence to consume. We threaten the wildlife when we farm the land to grow the animal food. There is enough food for everyone but not enough to feed and care properly for so many animals! Every social issue is solved by going to a plant based diet and provides a tangible way of knowing who is cruel and who believes all life is sacred. The torture can stop but it takes each and every one of us to make it happen. Violence is a choice. Please stop contributing to lifetimes of starvation, torture, confinement, abuse, and slaughter. Please stop! Let us instead worship all life, not just our own. Let's love and worship instead of destroy, torture, and exploit ok?! Please! We can do this! And we will be better for it!
