This one is just to show you why animal agriculture is pure hypocrisy (disregarding if you are already vegan or not). Our societies have a lot of laws which try to ensure a good way of living together with each other. These laws depend on the advancement of the countries, the religions and the culture overall. Not all laws make sense for everybody, but there is a reason for them to be established. Now I want you to think about this:

If a human is raping an animal (not okey), he will be sent to prison, because raping an animal is illegal. Which makes sense. But when he is in prison he will most probably be served meat at some point, or get some milk.

So how does this food get on his plate? To get meat on your plate you need to kill the animal, which is legal for farming purposes. Or to get milk, a farmer puts his hand/arm into the cows virgina to inseminate her, which is not raping from a legal point of view. But it is done without the agreement of the cow, which should per definition be handled as rape. And in most countries, it is not permitted to kill or eat dogs and cats (even not for farming purposes). But we give our cats beef, pork or other meat to eat (but not mouse meat or similar), which they would never be able to hunt by themselves. So why would we differentiate so hard between those animals? Why would we label one thing as rape and the other thing is common practice to get milk. Why is it okay to kill an animal, if raping it is against the law? There are four factors:

  1. In the past, there have been times where humans needed meat/dairy
  2. It is in our culture, it is common practice and it is how we are raised
  3. The animal agriculture is a huge industry were a lot of money is involved (lobby) and they don’t want us to even think about it. Therefore they make beautiful commercials with happy farming animals.
  4. Humans are lazy and to change habits is one of the hardest things because we are creatures of habit.

Because of those reasons, the majority of our society is still eating meat and dairy and as long as this is the case, the law will not change as the law represents the countries society. Even if it doesn’t make sense to serve a dead animal to an animal rapist in prison.

Do the change and go vegan

By simply making other choices in the supermarket you can have a direct impact on the harm caused to other living beings. If you have any concerns regarding veganism have a look at my other articles and if you still have open questions or if you are struggling at a specific point, just leave me a comment or contact me directly. If you want to support this webpage and me to continue spreading the vegan message you can do this here. Thank you a lot.

Don’t close your eyes and ask yourself what stops you to make a difference? I am convinced you won’t regret it.

Cheers,
