I think that we are just being selfish about the fact that they are unlike humans, having the ability to communicate in human languages. To those who are actually vegetarians, I would say that they are in a way helping the animals by not consuming them. It is an excellent attribute to abstain from eating meat. They are our role models because they do not contribute to the killings of these innocent animals, unlike most of the world's population do as there are way more meat-eaters in the world. We are still considered to be involved in having them slaughtered indirectly. As we consistently remain on the tremendously high side of demanding to purchase animal by-products and goods, also to be exported all across the world for consumption and even usage. If only we can actually reflect on all these evil deeds and demised set upon them. Which they absolutely do not at all deserve any forms of inflicted hurt and pain towards them. Allowing them and giving them the opportunity to survive and live normally just like us over-populated categorized homo-sapiens (human beings), far from being innocent at all.
How is it truly, in anyway at all, an ethical reason for humans to continue consuming meats from the various animals that some of which variety are being constantly victimized? Several species that we are all acquainted and have been familiarized with for food in our daily dietary consumption as that of the common chickens for poultry produce or products that is the single most mentioned meat marketed supply as a staple form of food source for people all over the world. Follow by a few other animals that are farmed and harvested in massive amounts by intense farming procedures that will usually have extremely poor survival conditions in cramped cages and compartments presently in major animal factories all over the world. Inhumane methods and modes of agriculture breeding and farming are being done to these animals due to many existing major food establishments or business conglomerates. These companies are mainly responsible for the tortures and deaths of countless animals that were raised up in inhospitable places of appalling conditions and are unfortunately forced to suffer in silence of heartbreaking helplessness, being treated with absolute abhorrently atrocious ways of gruesome and sadistic slaughter sentencing.
All these sentient animals that are adversely affected with apparent and blatant cruelties are indeed still considered as living creatures that should be regarded with, at the very least, basic cares and treated with decency just like any other ordinary humans would certainly be in need of nurtures whilst receiving some forms of direct concerns from others too. Animals could surely have an inner emotional pain and pleasure reactivity receptors naturally present in them too. They are able to sense threats and feel fearful, when possibly encountering some form of situational dangers and will instinctively avoid from being physically harmed by backing off or fleeing. Millions and billions of innocent animals have already undergone constant cruelties, contributed by the exponential growths and demands to satisfy the insatiable appetites of our ever-increasing human population worldwide.
We humans should actually question our consciences and be ashamedly guilty of ourselves that we have to continually provoke and interfere with the live of countless animals, not being fully compassionate towards them but regarding these animals as sources for our own selfish palates and being unconcerned enough to truly spare a thought for them. Comparing animals to ourselves, our surroundings are filled with technological gadgets, devices and any other kinds of life-enhancing products. Will we ever realize that it is still ethically wrong even if we try to reason and justify our selfishness as we continue to be the cause of animal lives to being taken away due to our appetites? To me, it is rather an unacceptable mindset that has to be altered for the sake of the innocent living creatures. There is no way we can escape the harsh reality that those of these truly innocent lives of animals to have been and are still being taken away in an extreme rate each and every day. May we feel the sense of sorrow as long as we continue to consume any forms of meat from our neutrally harmless land-living herbivores
In illustration purposes to be mentioned and stated is that as men with human nature, were to lust over women to commit adultery or fornication. While in terms of animals wise, people commit another one of the many deadly sins which is to glutton over the meat of animals in almost all or every part of the world wherever there is human civilization governing the country. As herbivores of such creatures as animals who live with a completely pure and also absolute innocence, surviving solely on instincts.
It would be better to consume seafood of anything which is safely edible of the marine life such as fishes, crustaceans and invertebrates like mollusks because they do not share the same land as people. However, I do still think that killing and taking way the lives of any living creatures, of those who do not intentionally want to inflict any harm to us is never a good thing after all. There is also an option to consume fruits and nuts as a diet so that we can spare the lives of these sentient animals. We must realize and understand that such acts should not really and completely be taken for granted as every life that was killed in the past, present and soon to be future matters. We must stop this devastating statistic of the animals unwillingly losing their lives unknowingly. I believe that it is too late for us to undo our acts of cruelty towards them because very few people who are already so used to consuming meat will actually completely stop eating unless they really strive with goodwill and intention and resist the temptation of indulging in the meat of helpless animals. It is unfortunately impossible to eternally eliminate animal origins from the menu worldwide.
But one thing is for sure is that, as long as humans were to survive on earth; people will still inevitably reserve the mindset of inhumanely taking discriminate advantages against animals. Those people involved in these killings will undoubtedly continue committing abuses, having heartlessly self-centered will of wanting to satisfy their ways of life in terms of having an appetite for animals or coveting over monetary gains from such acts of killing those ultimately neutrally natured animals for food. True innocence which these animals (herbivores) possess, with the worst of co-existing with many unscrupulous meat-eaters. As we would either indirectly or directly take away their lives, through the forms of slaughtering. We may need to put ourselves in their position for us to really empathize what many of these pitiful animals have to go through every day, with all the pain and even cruelty. No one would ever want to be treated the way some of these animals are treated. Condolences goes out to these animals that have been killed and are still dying...
