“I think, with dismay and sadness, about the children who adorn their walls with animal pictures and have favorite stuffed animals, but are lied to by their parents about where meat, dairy, and eggs come from so that they unwittingly inflict suffering and death on the real animals whom their toys and pictures represent. To what degree do the parents lie to their kids to hide their own violent lifestyles?”
I promise not to gore my followers out often (it’s a really rare that I do) but I’d say this is important.
Why create a lie to let them kill, especially when you’re putting their health at risk?
Choosing a lifestyle steeped in violence for another person, a lifestyle from which that person cannot remove themselves, is in itself an act of violence.
