15. Self aware life
| 15.8 |
The thoughts, emotions and feelings of non-human self aware life |
|
| When human beings demand an endless supply of meats and by-products from the slaughter of other mammals, it helps if one feels that they somehow do not share the same dynamic emotions, feelings and even the idea of dreams and thoughts as humans do. | ||
| If children were to actually consider the terrible trauma and fear of a cow standing in line as it hears, hears and smells death all around, knowing its life is soon to end, or the trauma of pigs as they are slaughtered then fewer people would buy the fast food hamburger. | ||
| In our sanitised world, probably the only time we are likely to see the terrible conditions in which so many farm animals exist is when the occassional current affairs team occassionally airs the sometimes appaling conditions in which these dreaming, thinking and fully emotional animals live and die. | ||
| 15.8.1 | The evil trade of animal testing | |
| Probably no other current trade, excluding the massive sex slave and body part trade can compare to the trade and use of animals for testing by large private chemical companies. | ||
| All manner of mammals are subjected to horrendous torture and barbaric deaths all in the name of better shampoos, aftershaves, synthetic pain killers and wonder drugs. The standard line to the pictures of death and sometimes dismemberment of such innocent lifeforms is that such work helps saves the lives of millions of human beings. | ||
| This argument is dutifully reported most times by the media without any serious follow-up to consider just how many of the thousands of animals killed by such torture are actually used in life saving drug trials versus the greedy and insanse pursuit to try and manufacture yet more synthetic pain killers while the best natural pain killers in the world remain illegal. Of course, animal testers never tell you the truth, because 95% of all animal deaths in trials is in the needless short cut pursuit of new chemicals that have no vital or new life saving properties. | ||
