They died for us

While we were enjoying dinner elegantly, the slaughterhouse was carefully covered up.
A few years ago, I once saw the process of slaughtering pigs on CCTV Channel 7. It was not bloody at all. This time, I understand, it is a minority after all. When each of us knows the bloody side of the slaughterhouse, then who will enjoy those delicious meat products?
Seeing those animals struggling after being cut, they are also fresh lives! The dolphin was dragged to the shore, and the throat was cut with a sharp knife. The blood stained the bay. The children after school walked by talking and laughing, as if they had not seen the blood in the place and their violently trembling bodies. When we learn about animal shelters, slaughterhouses, circuses, zoos, and even medical schools, we will be ashamed of everything we have done.
They also have feelings. Some of their touches are more developed than ours. Wouldn't they hurt?
Human beings have three stages of cognition of what they really want: 1. mocking 2. fierce opposition 3. acceptance.
In fact, to animals, we are Nazis.

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.
