"The question is not, "Can they reason?", nor, "Can they talk? but "Can they suffer?" " - Jeremy Bentham
My name is Prarthana and from this day on, I am vegan. No more planning to be one, no more I can't give up something just because I'm addicted. Animals do not deserve what they get from us. They just don't. And up until now, I thought I was a hardcore animal lover. I'm hardly there. As for all the people who wear leather jackets, have silk coats and eat whale meat? I dare you. I dare you all to watch this video. I don't even care how I sound right now. But if it's come down to this? Daring? Then so be it.
To anyone who reads my blog, watch this. If you have the gutts. If you want to know the truth and face it, watch. We're humans. We're supposed to be the most evolved beings. WATCH IT. And I swear that if you continue eating non vegetarian food after what you watch if you do? You will amaze me. If you eat meat, I will not judge you but I will feel nothing for you. People may be nice, they may be good, but they are in denial. Every single one of you that eats meat is in denial.
My purpose in life has always been to work with animals, create an awareness for their protection and conservation. But now, in addition to that, it's become a mission. Never before have I felt such a strong love, and connection. Animals need us, and if any of you out there know exactly what I'm talking about, you'll feel your life's purpose is the same. They don't deserve this. Not even a fraction of it. They've done nothing but exist.
Remember my post on vegetarianism? Read it again. And then watch this. If you don't cry watching this? I'm sorry, you don't have any feelings or emotions. We're part of a selfish, self-obsessed race. This has been the toughest 1.5 hours in my entire 20 years. I thought I knew distress, I thought I knew depression and madness, I thought I knew what it felt like to be hurt physically and emotionally, and I thought I knew what pain was. I was nowhere close. But now I do. I've felt so much pain in a matter of an hour and it's made me feel sick. But now that I know how cruel human beings really are? How while I'm sitting here plonk in front of a computer screen with no worries, out there somewhere, baby animals are being stripped away from their mothers, animals of all kinds are being tortured to death just so humans can satisfy their taste buds, I know now. I know what my life's purpose is.
This is by far the best film I've ever watched. Well taken, well directed and well narrated. I've never felt so much all at the same time. Joaquin Phoenix has done an amazing job at making me cry like a baby. Not to mention the courage that Shaun Monson had to endure actually going through all of what's in the movie and facing it. It's beautiful, shocking, and will definitely blow your mind and change your eating habits.
If anyone ever comes to me and argues about eating meat again, I swear to all the Gods that I will beat the crap out of you. I'm done being diplomatic and peaceful about it. I don't care how I'm judged or what people think of me. If you can eat another living being, you have no respect for anyone but what your mouth wants.
We need to change. Animals have every right to survive. They have the right to live out their lives. They DO have feelings. But they have to live in constant fear of us. They shouldn't have to.
Again, I DARE YOU TO WATCH THIS. If you have the balls. Stop living in denial. Meat doesn't just come from packets and from plates. It comes from LIVING CREATURES. Your leather coat wasn't made by Gucci. It was made by a poor cow somewhere the lost it's right to live just for your stupid pleasure.
Remember slaughterhouses don't have glass walls for a reason.
Animal Kingdom, I'm coming.
"The hope for the animals of tomorrow is to be found in a human culture which learns to feel beyond itself." - Joaquin Phoenix
I am sad. Shocked. Amazed. Disgusted. Ashamed. Ashamed that I am a part of the human race. Ashamed that I am part of a community that can only think of itself and not co exist with the other beings on Earth. I never use the word 'hate'. It's strong. But what I'm feeling now? Is pure hate. I hate the fact that we think we own everything on this planet, that everything is at our disposal and that nothing but our desires matter. THIS WORLD IS BLOODY MESSED UP.
