When people begin to consider the plight of animals, the first injustice they usually become aware of it that many people in society think an animal’s life has no value. Once any person of average intelligence or above realizes that all animals are sentient beings with the full range of feelings and emotions humans experience, they need to deal with the culpability of living in a society based on abusing animals.
Most people in society believe they have the right to kill animals indiscriminately. They believe it is ok to kill animals for food, and they believe it is ok to kill wild animals in much the same way they would pull weeds from their garden. And the really sick in society believe it is ok to dress up as if they are soldiers, arm themselves with the latest weaponry, and kill helpless animals for ‘sport’.
The internet is saturated with selfies of proud fools posing with rifles over the dead bodies of beautiful animals they have just killed. Thankfully, more and more people are starting to recognize this ‘killing for pleasure’ trait in society is a symptom of a psychotic inadequacy in one section of the community.
Many people become vegan when they wake up to the idea that killing is wrong. That killing of any animal often causes the destruction of family group leaving the surviving members in an extremely vulnerable position.
