S: Most who like to eat meat ironically don’t want a single animal killed for them. Strange isn’t it, to miss the cause and effect of supply and demand? In existentialism, this is called ‘bad faith’ – not being true to what one already knows :-[ Maybe vege advocates should try this trick in public – free ‘meatballs’ on demand. Use mock ones of course! (The only ‘fresh meat’ is that still on happy living animals. Any other meat are just carcasses.)
C: Brilliant idea for campaign against the consumption of animals. Should do the same for the rest like baby lambs, baby cows and even fish. Throw in a human baby if that’s what it takes for meat-eaters to realise the hypocritical preferences they have over this animal and that.
S: Then again, I have a feeling that most meat-lovers won’t become ‘enlightened’ on this, even if the joke is played on them to awaken their compassion. Looking at the video, there is disgust and horror at the ‘killer’, but what about towards their own continual demand? May all be well and happy.
J: Thanks for sharing, but let’s not judge the meat-eater. Perhaps quitting meat (like smoking) is not so easy for some people. Some of the nicest, kindest people I know are hardcore carnivores.
S: No judgement… Notice the comment has a ‘?’ at the end :-] It’s not all or nothing. Reducing is better than not. And those who are already nice to humans can always be nicer to animals. May all be well and happy, humans and animals.
E: Things can be change if we are willing to… with compassion…
J2: New research by Dr Brock Bastian from UQ’s School of Psychology highlights the psychological processes that people engage in to reduce their discomfort over eating meat: ‘Many people like eating meat, but most are reluctant to harm things that have minds. Our studies show that this motivates people to deny minds to animals,’ Dr Bastian said. Read more in this article:
