For these souls..

hmm okay, so maybe I will still periodically post when the inspiration comes. 

After viewing this picture of this animal, who has had their teeth, testicals and their tale ripped out without euthanasia, these were the words that came to me.. 

These are the souls we ruin for our mere taste buds. that's it. Our mere laze in not wanting to change. Take out salt, take out the smoke, take out the cooking from bacon and all it is a piece of dripping flesh from this animal. It's so easy to make that taste in any other food without using this animal's insides.

In fact, most commercial bacon bits, are actually vegan. Soy, smoke flavor, salt and cooking. Something juicy can be made with tempeh, eggplant, coconut, mushrooms, even jackfruit. I make it all of the time and it's wonderful, and I can eat it with a pure conscious because a being like this, didn't have to suffer so I could get my 'fix' of smoke, salt and cooking.

That's it. It's no meat fix, because once you give up meat, you realize that you don't even miss it. You miss the tastes and the flavors and the textures associated with meat.. but those can all be absolutely replaced with plants. In fact, we make meat to appear more like plants than it appears to be meat. If it appeared to be more like meat.. We would salivate by looking at this picture. We would eat what was in this picture as is, we would eat the feces on its skin, we would eat everything, including the bones. That's what real carnivores do. If we are actually part 'carnivores' we are the saddest 'part' carnivorous species I've ever seen.

We have to use tools to kill our prey. And mostly we don't have the capacity to chase them down, we must use tools that can aim at long distances. Even that is too much of a hassle for most of humanity... we actually need to pay someone else, to not only kill animals, but to breed them in small confined spaces, so that there is actually no chance for this animal to escape, even if it was otherwise one of the strongest species on the planet. No, we are the most pathetic part 'carnivores' I've ever witnessed. In fact, I really don't think we are 'part' carnivorous at all. Given that most people are truly disgusted witnessing a butchering event.

Most don't want anything to do with it. And not to mention our guts, we have the weakest guts as well, when we eat raw animal we get sick. We get obnoxiously sick, and many people die. Cats and dogs have the acidity in their guts to deal with the bacteria. we don't. Not even close. We also have long intestinal tracks just as other herbivorous creatures have, to slowly extract nutrients from plants. Cats have short intestinal tracks, so they can quickly eliminate all of the rotting meat in their guts. What happens to the rotten meat in our guts... well constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, noxious gas... bloating. It's not worth it. taking these lives just isn't worth it, not for our health, not for them, and not for our environment.
