I do agree that we are living in a World t...Yes... I do agree that we are living in a World that's gone quite mad...<br /><br />I don't believe in telling people what they should do or how they should live their lives BUT we are bonded together in one way or another in this crazy business of 'survival for fittest".<br /><br />And that 'rational' has made us (humans with bigger brains, as you put it) so irrational into thinking that "what I do is my business and no one's else's".<br /><br />Our early forefathers tilled their lands for the growing of crops and yes, they eventually worn out the fertility of arable land for further use. How did that happen? I suppose it was because they didn't have the modern technology that we have now.... how to revive the arability of soil that is no longer fertile. It is now common knowledge that with composting, the use of non-chemical laden fertilsers and the growth rotation of crops, we can still live off the land. <br /><br />Those of us who continue to use chemical commercial fertlisers and pesticides are the ones to be blamed as much as the manufacturers. If there is no or even less demand for these harmful items, Mosanto and others will have to go for alternatives which are less detrimental harm to the environment.<br /><br />No, I don't think even if there are Vegan laws and policies to stop the killing and consuming of meats, that it will happen overnight. It will definitely have to be a gradual thing, a slow and tedious trip for all concerned .... the livestock industry and all those who are now dependent on the meat business...which will slowly but surely pave the way for all. <br /><br />Livestock farmers can turn their existing land into agricultural farms and grow crops. And to do this environmentally right, they need to go for orgainc farming in a big way too. As for their existing livestock..... they should be given enough time to trade them off before the transition to farming crops. That way, we hope no one will end up on the losing end. <br /><br />The lions and tigers were created to eat meat.... check out their aimentary system and we will see that meat is their normal diet as opposed to that of the cows, elephants, horses and men. And besides, we don't get lions and tigers and other meat eating animals running commercial livestock farming anywhere, do we? <br /><br />Personally, I love being a Vegan....and I still regard those who don't with respect and appreciate how they feel about it.Greensleeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619683673727839702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128017118184408913.post-53274876452866320712011-10-31T04:57:31.791+08:002011-10-31T04:57:31.791+08:00Telling people what to do, think, believe, wear an...Telling people what to do, think, believe, wear and eat is despotism and tyranny. <br /><br />I know you'll not publish this, but I have to play devil's advocate anyway. Say you get your way and all of a sudden all livestock raising is banned, along with the slaughtering of animals. What happens to all those animals? Do you think that ranchers keep them out of the goodness of their hearts? No, they keep them for food. When that raison d'etre is gone, what will they do with them? Kill them because they won't be able to afford to feed them. And for what? Not for food since that will be illegal in your world.<br /><br />Do you know what agriculture has done to this planet? Do you know what Monsanto is doing to it with their genetically modified crops? How many field mice and other small rodents are killed when harvesting crops? Or killed because they are pests? Is a cow's life worth more than a mouse's? Agriculture ruins the soil, even when pesticides aren't used. Look at the ancient Sumerians! They settled down from a hunter-gather lifestyle and within a few generations the soil that had previously been great was so poor they could no longer grow anything. It is a desert there now.<br /><br />That is why you are wrong. Wrong on so many levels. There's something called a food chain. When you get lions in Africa to stop eating meat, then I tell you what, I'll stop eating meat too. We evolved to eat meat, a diet high in saturated fat is what allowed us to develop bigger brains and is what put us at the top of the food chain.<br /><br />Life requires death. It is part of nature. To deny our place in nature is what put us into the mess we are in now. <br /><br />You want to be vegan. That's fantastic. More power to you. But don't tell me that I have to be. You want to be healthy and save the planet?
