I\u2019m sick of living in a world where people are more upset about being misgendered or their favorite sports team losing a game than they are with what\u2019s going on in slaughterhouses.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

UNPARALLELED SUFFERING:<\/strong> Like most humans, one of my favorite things to eat growing up was cheeseburgers made from cow carcasses… but it\u2019s been nearly one-third of my life since I ate a burger that contained ingredients from slaughterhouses. The last animal burger I ever ate came from Whole Foods Market. In other words, the last burger I ever ate came from a place that supplied \u201cfood” made from animals who were treated far better and more responsibly than the norm, or so I had thought.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t miss anything at all about the animal-based burgers I used to eat; I don\u2019t miss eating patties that contained the mixed remains of up to one thousand different cows, I don\u2019t miss the constipation, I don\u2019t miss the blindness to what I was participating in, and I don\u2019t miss supporting something that runs so extremely counter to my personal values and morals. I can say without a doubt that the top best tasting burgers I\u2019ve had in my life haven\u2019t even been any burgers that contained animal flesh, but some of the burgers that were made strictly from plants. To this day, my favorite burger joint is a plant-based restaurant called Meta Burger in Denver, Colorado, please try it if you\u2019re ever in the area and are one of those humans who can actually go a meal without consuming death (I know, such a sacrifice).<\/em><\/p>\n

Had I been educated as a child on what my food options were or had I been raised by parents who gave a damn about life forms that the norm is to discriminate against and utterly disregard, maybe I would have never even known the taste of these wildly popular death patties, which would have been just fine. All I was taught about cows as a child was that they make a \u201cmoo\u201d sound and that they \u201cgive\u201d us milk and beef.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nobody taught me the glorious fact that humans exterminated all free-living natural cows and only allowed the cows who we genetically altered to produce superfluous flesh and milk (and who we could easily control) to keep living (well to be able to live for us, not for themselves and their family). Cows make far more sounds than just the basic \u201cmoo.\u201d Nobody had taught me about the haunting bellowing sounds mother cows make after their babies are abducted from them on dairy farms or at livestock auctions, all so that their calf nourishment can be unnaturally redirected for ourselves to consume instead…<\/em><\/p>\n

After finally ditching all animal products I felt so pathetic and stupid for waiting so long to do something so basic. What felt like such a giant and unachievable step to make was nothing more than a simple detour. Given what I knew and what I had continued to participate in, I could barely live with myself and who I was. But now I finally had a chance to do better. I wanted to inspire others to become educated, make the basic decency changes I had made, and to help them get to the finish line without getting trapped in mind games along the way like I had done. So activism time it was…<\/em><\/p>\n

I prefer a world where there\u2019s more people helping life that\u2019s already here and in need, which includes every animal in existence who is in any situation of exploitation, neglect, abuse, injury, or any other need. I\u2019m sick of living in a world where people are more upset about being misgendered or their favorite sports team losing a game or their neighbor not taking an experimental medical product than they are with what\u2019s going on in slaughterhouses and on these so-called humane farms that reduce living beings to unfeeling machines that need to be put to death for our wants.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite exposing myself to hardcore animal abuse consistently for so many years in a row, I struggle to amplify their voices as loudly as I used to be able to because I know that most humans just do not care, and that\u2019s one reason why I think the human species is so overrated. How can we be so great when it\u2019s such a struggle to get the average human to exercise basic decency towards others who are just as real as them?…<\/em><\/p>\n

As badly as I had wanted there to be \u201chumane meat\u201d I\u2019m glad I now know the truth that such a phenomenon doesn\u2019t exist and never will as long as sentient individuals are involved. Please be a decent human and don\u2019t buy into utter nonsense (literally and figuratively) that needlessly puts other animals into harm\u2019s way. Humane entails kindness, compassion, and mercy, which I\u2019d argue we can afford to honor other beings with, no matter how different they are from ourselves. <\/em>SOURCE…<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
