First of all, I want you to imagine the following scene in your mind. I mean it. If you don't have time, come back later.
Imagine:
You are an inocent animal, enjoying your life in the forest. You have a family, who you really love and, you can't imagine life without. Even your family feels the same way towards you.
Today, you're walking through the forest and having fun. Suddenly you hear someone. A human. He has a rifle in his hand and you know exactly what's about to happen.
You start running at top speed. Never mind. Even running couldn't help. He shoots you and you're dead.
Now, your dear family is left alone.....to cry...............to grieve..........just because of a human.
Have you ever thought about the fact, that even animals have emotions. If you've ever owned a dog, you'll understand me. Even animals cry. Even they feel happy. They have all the emotions that we have. On daily basis, you must hear unusual stories on the news. Like a dog nursed a cat. Or some animal took care of an entirely different species of animal.
But, that's not the point I'm trying to make.
Okay. How about this. What are you going to have for dinner tonight? Chicken, roast lamb, or what? Yeah. something like that, right? Something very tasty. Something that makes your mouth water even at the mention of it.
Today, while eating your tasty meal, I want you to give a thought to the following. Even if you give it a thought for a minute, that's fine.
Think about it. Maybe while you're enjoying your dinner, the family of what is on your dinner plate, might never be able to eat again. Maybe, this very moment, in their own animal way, they are crying and crying. Or maybe they are in a state of shock. Who knows?
So, now, ask yourself. Who are you? If you are a non-vegetarian, I'll tell you. You are a very cruel person who has no, simply NO respect for other forms of life on earth. You are selfish. A selfish person, who just cares about their taste and fun. That is the only truth.
Maybe this question arises in your mind: Even eating plants is killing them. That is cruel too, if you take it that way. Right?
No. Wrong. Plants don't move, they don't talk, they don't have emotions, they can't see, they can't touch, they don't have the 5 senses that we and other animals have. They are lifeless living things created by god (or who ever).
Please, think about it.
How about this. How would you feel, if you saw, a horse or a dog, die infront of you? Or, didn't you cry when you read the The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe-The Chronicles of Narnia, for the first time? When you thought Aslan was dead?
Didn't you feel like slapping the witch and her subjects?
Well, maybe....just maybe...you're doing the same thing.................you're being as cruel.................
There are many things which, you haven't thought about. I'm giving you the chance. Don't lose it, because maybe, ..............you won't ever get it again.....................................................................................................................
........................................
