Living Graves

"While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we ever expect ideal conditions on earth" - George Bernard Shaw

Are we not Living Graves when we eat dead animals ?

We take our dead to the cemetery but by eating the dead bodies of animals, aren't we making our bodies the grave yards of hundreds of animals ?

Have we conveniently forgotten that these living creatures have a soul ?

It is time that all humans acknowledge the divine spirit in each and every living creature on this planet.

These poor animals who have not been blessed with speech can surely feel pain.

They cannot express the suffering inflicted on them. They have no lawyers to stand up and fight for them nor leaders to revolt.

Thus humans take full advantage of their helplessness.

Are we so desperate to eat delicious food at the cost of inflicting suffering on these helpless creatures ?

It's time we ponder and decide for ourselves - is it worth it.
