Imagine a world where rape is legal....

A wonderfully comprehensive post from Rishi Patel - http://facebook.com/Forourunspokenfriends:

Imagine for a minute that you live in a world where rape is legal; the norm and carried out on a daily basis all around you by the vast majority of men.

Imagine that you are an anti rape campaigner, dedicating your life to ending this atrocious, barbaric act of violence against women.

However, each and every time you speak out against it you are labelled as 'weird' 'extreme' 'closed minded' and belonging to a cult. Imagine that the 'justifications' you get from the masses for them raping women are the following:

'Lions tho...lions rape lionesses, are you gonna tell lions to stop'

'Nature tho, it happens in the jungle all the time'

'Animals rape other animals tho'

'It's been happening for thousands of years tho, what about cavemen tho?'

'Women were put here for us to rape them tho'

'If we don't rape them, they will take over and rape us tho'

'There are far more important issues in the word tho, kids are starving in Africa and you're worried about consent?'

'It's a personal choice tho'

'You're forcing your opinions on me tho'

'I respect your choice not to rape, why can't you respect my choice to do so, stop being so self righteous'

'It's just something we're gonna have to agree to disagree on'
'It feels good tho'

Non vegans - Are you appalled by the above? Outraged?

So am I. But, there is a difference.

Me and my fellow vegan activists are not just sickened when we hear rape being 'justified' by the above but also when we hear the rape, sexual exploitation, enslavement, torture, mutilation, branding, gassing, stabbing, de-horning, castration, bludgeoning and scalding of BILLIONS of our animal friends each year being 'justified' by the above 'arguments' from Carnists desperate to feed their addiction to animal products. Replace the words 'women' and 'rape' above with 'animals' and 'eat' and you have the arguments that we hear from non vegans each and every day.

These are the 'arguments' that me and my fellow vegan activists hear every day from non-vegan Carnists who attempt to justify being complicit in the daily torture, enslavement, rape and murder of over 150 BILLION animals each year in order to continue satisfying their own taste buds.

Why is it that when it comes to harming animals, putting them through a lifetime of hell, misery, pain and suffering all of sudden 'lions tho' 'we've been doing it for years tho' 'nature tho' and 'they were put here for us tho' seem to fly just fine for the masses? Why are you disgusted by the above arguments when they are used to justify the rape of humans but more than happy to put forward these very same arguments when it comes to trying to justify the rape, sexual exploitation and commodification of animals?

Are animals lives worth less than humans?

Do animals deserve less respect than humans?

Are we a superior species?

Do you think that it is not rape if you forcibly impregnate a female animal with a metal rod whilst they are restrained in a 'rape rack' trying to escape in order to forcibly impregnate them and then take their babies away from them and then shoot those babies in the head if they are male and then repeat the process year after year after year (meat and dairy industry practices)?

When you justify harming animals for your own personal pleasure, gluttony, greed and vanity with the above 'arguments' you sound just as pathetic to those seeking justice for animals as those who justify rape with the above 'arguments' sound to you.

Please, watch the short video below and share widely. This video has the potential to really start a huge shift in the way people view the horrific, sadistic manner with which we treat animals and expose the double standards and hypocrisy of non vegans.

 

Thanks George Martin and Aidan (Hayden) for sharing this video and initially writing about it. The coward that I am I was too scared at first to write this post.

Let's end The Animal Holocaust, the largest and longest running murder campaign in history with nothing else even coming close to it, in our lifetime.
