I have found that once people see animals as "beings" and not "food" ...they begin to gain a whole new appreciation for life.
It wasn't until I went vegan and was vegan for at least 6 months that I realized how desensitized I had become with regard to my food.
I used to be able to grab a burger and eat it with no thought to anything other than the food that filled my belly.
Since becoming vegan, I have more intent and purpose with my food. I feel a deeper connection to the earth and the spirit of life. All life.
It's time for us to sensitize ourselves to the living beings around us and realize they feel pain and sickness...just like any human would. To live under the pretense that a being doesn't feel pain just because it can't tell you it does, it a fairly abysmal way of thinking. All you have to do is look into their eyes to realize...they are just as present as we are.
As human beings, it is our responsibility to be the caretakers of the world. To honor and respect all creatures placed on this earth and learn to live with a deeper love for our mother.
