Apart from being vegetarian

After reading it, I am more sad than shocked. Seeing that some netizens are dissatisfied with the speciesism here only mentioning animals and despising plants... I thought that in the normal food chain, human eating meat is just as understandable as cattle and sheep eating grass. But the problem today is human over-consumption of animals and insatiable appetites, for example, Americans consume as much chicken in a day as they did in a year in the 1930s. When we find the meat delicious, we want to possess and enjoy it more; we compare the game we have eaten, and we keep trying to kill new species; we find that we can make a lot of money through dirty farms and slaughterhouses, so we try to find ways to do it. Expand production to reduce costs... Other aspects include the demand for fur and fur, playing with pets and then abandoning them. We have the power to decide the life and death of animals, but it is like "rights will be abused, absolute power will be abused absolutely", I don't know if this is the inherent evil of human nature.

I really hope that everyone can realize that they have contributed to these cruelties, whether it is because of self-interest or in a state of collective unconsciousness; in addition, rather than being vegetarian, perhaps what we should do is "be humble and self-sufficient". There is reverence, restraint, and a clear understanding of the infinite desires of human beings. All things "too far too far", hope to encourage each other.

Talking to express few opinions, I hope you will bear with me.

Earthlings quotes

  • [first lines]

    title card: earth-ling n. - One who inhabits the earth.

    Narrator: Since we all inhabit the earth, we are all considered earthlings. There is no sexism, racism, or speciesism in the term 'earthling'. It encompasses each and every one of us: warm- or cold-blooded, mammal, vertebrate or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and human alike.

  • Narrator: It is the human earthling who tends to dominate the earth, oftentimes treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects. This is what is meant by 'speciesism'. By analogy with racism and sexism, speciesism is a prejudice or attitude or bias in favor of the interests of the members of one's own species and against those of members of other species.
