Non vegans - been struggling with the heat the past few days? Suffered from sunstroke? Been dehydrated? Felt like you were about to faint?
Just for a minute, imagine what it must be like to be crammed onto a concentration camp truck in this scorching heat, packed shoulder to shoulder with your friends and family. Sick, injured, vomiting, disease ridden and dehydrated you are being driven many, many miles to your execution (without so much as a drop of water) where you will spend your final moments in agony, wondering what you have ever done to deserve so much pain and torment.
Imagine that your only crime is that you were not born a human and that your very existence and suffering is mocked, laughed at and trivialised with others valuing your life less than their tastebuds.
Non vegans, welcome to the world of your victims. Welcome to the world of chickens, pigs, cows, lambs, turkeys and ducks.
When you get sunstroke, faint or start to get dehydrated, you will generally have someone come to your help. You will generally be able to find some shade/drink some water/find an air conditioned place/turn on a fan. For the animals, there is no respite. There is no end to their suffering and there is no one to help them. They must suffer right until the very end, right until their lives are taken from them.
If I had to endure that they do, I would look forward to the moment my life is taken from me. I would wish for it every second of every single day, for the pain to just finally stop and for my life to be over.
It is your money that is funding this madness, non vegans. You can directly help put an end to this massacre, the largest massacre in history. All you have to do is leave animal corpses and the things that come out of animals (milk + milk based foods, eggs, honey) off your plate and their skin off your body. How hard is that? Is the 'pain', discomfort and inconvenience that you will endure by giving up cheese, milk, eggs and meat worse than the suffering of that 'spent' dairy cow being driven to the slaughterhouse because she can no longer produce profitable amounts of 'organic', 'free range', 'humane' milk?
Again, imagine if it was you or your mother, father, brother or sister on that extermination truck today, yesterday or on Sunday. No one deserves that. You would not wish what happens to cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, turkeys and ducks on your worst enemy.
Your worst nightmares put together would not add up to be a fraction of what these animals endure.
You don't have to love animals to agree that is wrong to do this to them. I am not an animal lover. You simply have to be against unnecessary violence towards others and against exploiting and abusing those at our mercy. What we put billions of animals through each and every year is a gross injustice, the most horrific act of injustice in history. You can either be a part of it or be vegan, and fight to put an end to it.
Please, have mercy on them.
