To (M)eat Or Not To (M)eat

To (M)eat Or Not To (M)eat - Hello everyone! - The article which I recently stumbled across on Facebook has been terribly upsetting me. I honestly can't think of any other way but grab a pen and bring to your attention what I would best like to just scream about in absolute agony, which is "Stop all that nonsense!" For quite some time, I have been reflecting a lot upon animals basically being entirely at our mercy on the way from breeding, rearing to ultimately slaughtering them. I suppose, this topical hyper- sensitivity mainly results from a generally much quicker and easier access to medially distributed information sharing in this day and age. This way, more and more articles appear to just pop up out of nowhere illustrating the poor treatment of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, poultry, and game. (To some extent, fish, too, of course). Being a full- fledged carnivore and lover of chicken, I am becoming increasingly aware of how pathetically hypocritical I must sound particularly to vegetarians. Rest assured, though, this is THE crux that I am facing now all over again. Due to that all those Muslim refugees flooding Europe, I just cannot seem to possibly escape the fact that ever the more Halal slaughtering facilities are growing everywhere across the entire continent just like mushrooms, and with those massive medial complaints about their ways of slaughtering are noticed. It is quite commonly known that pictures document issues like these as graphically as nothing else. Learning about something in theory and being given the visuals along with it are two different pairs of shoes, for sure. Anyway, the Halal- method allows animals to be first corralled under the most awful conditions imaginable before savagely slashing their throats and letting them bleed out and perish most painfully without using any anesthesia. No respect whatsoever for those living beings that were created by Allah and God, respectively! I can no longer ban such gruesome photographic impressions from my mind, and the more I am fuelled in the very same manner, the more I want to just scream! By no means, should the killing of animals ever be advocated, pardoned or concurred as something quite normal or agreeable because it is not. Unfortunately, unless God Himself wipes us unbearable species out at last, slaughtering on such an unfathomable mass- scale will impossibly end ever. My heart is aching profoundly regardless of whether home- bred animals are ultimately killed sensibly and respectfully for those attributes will certainly never do it any justice. After all, killing here always implies the termination of lives of innocent creatures that just have no say or right at all as far as defending themselves, and nothing will ever sugar- coat or trivialize the act of murdering. The other morning, another deeply disturbing picture caught my eye and actually delivered just more testimony of how indignifyingly animals are handled on their last journey - in that case once past the EU zone. It showed a cow dangling high from a crane arm somewhere between a peer and a freighter tied by only one leg. What the hell is wrong with us humans? Do we honestly believe that we will get away unpunished committing such appallingly inhumanity towards Gods creatures? I truly feel like throwing up right into those brutes' faces! Do you actually have any idea about the animals' energies being stored in their bodies the very same way they are transformed while having to go through such an incredibly reckless degree of stress, panic and pain? Have you ever pondered over what the impact of such high levels of toxic energy does on the human body? If your answer is a positive one, then you are guessing correctly. And you know what, if this it what we deem as indispensable, all those piles of meat on our plates, unrestrictedly and at any time, we need to also learn to accept the simple truth that we shall exactly be served what we deserve. Call it Karma, if you will, but bad or rather negative energies can lastly only create the very same calling for a wide range of ailments, illnesses (including mental disorders!), and would you believe it, even rage, anxieties and stress. Just anything spiritually counter- productive is consequently going to manifest and unfold within us. In that sense, bon appétit, mes amis!
