Little Lizard

Less than a couple of hours ago I thought I had saved a little lizard from two stray cats. Its tail was cut off and it had a scratch on the side. I put it in a safe place in the garden, only to find out that ants were eating it an hour later. I was very shaken and sad by the fact that I couldn't save it, but even more so by the fact that it was suffering prior to its death. This is a poem I wrote for it:

"Poor little lizard, what an awful way to dieHe cut your tail and he scratched your side

I tried to save you; I failed, tell me why?
My heart is broken, distraught; I saw you die

I hoped you didn’t suffer; I want to say goodbye
Your last moments were painful; I wish it was a lie

I wish I’d been more helpful, I wish I’d saved your life
I’m now mourning your death, tears running from my eyes

I thought you would survive this, but then I saw the ants
Devouring your small body, approached you really fast

I’ll give you a proper burial, I know you had a soul
I’m sorry I couldn’t save you from this unfair downfall"

Rest in peace little lizard...

Dear anti-vegans

So a couple of days ago I saw someone sharing an article that basically says:
"I eat meat and I don't feel guilty about it because being vegan doesn't make a difference."

Well well, look at how people are trying to get rid of their guilty conscious...

Fun fact, my comments were deleted because the person who posted the article had no argument against mine. Just trying to cover up for their guilt and get justification from other meat eaters with guilty conscious.

The article went on to attack vegans, as if vegans are humanity and environment's enemy.

Guess again: Wrong.

Vegans for the biggest part are a lot more eco-friendly and eco-conscious than most of us.
They care about ethical consumerism in all products.

The article said because rainforests are destroyed vegans are contributing to that due to their consumption.

First of all, if you buy ethically produced products and avoid palm oil (or unethically produced one), you have good chances of not contributing to rainforest destruction.

Secondly, we know that it's hard to be 100% eco-friendly. It's very very hard if not impossible (especially in big cities).

I've never seen a vegan make such a statement anyway.

I don't get why vegans are targeted by meat eaters, when it's so fucking obvious that when you eat meat you actually have contributed to animals' deaths (and possibly torture).

If you're vegan or vegetarian, at least you don't eat corpses, so you didn't contribute to the death of those said animals.

And that's a pretty big deal to me.

To say that you love animals, but then eat them... isn't that hypocrisy? Unless you support speciesism (which means you discriminate towards certain species).

If you really care about the environment and animals, maybe you should get a lesson or two from vegans instead of attacking them. Vegans aren't the fucking enemy. Those who torture animals and fuck up the environment and the ecosystem are.
Know your enemies and don't be manipulated sheep turning against people who aren't to be blamed.

If you want to eat meat, fine. But don't pretend you're not contributing to animal murder (and possibly torture). Admit you don't give a fuck and enjoy your steak.

I personally don't attack people for eating meat, regardless of my disagreement to it. It's your choice and you have to live with it. But don't bullshit me. If you don't feel guilty good for you.
However, if you feel guilty and try to justify your actions by making stupid and illogical excuses I ain't tolerating that crap.
You can lie to yourself, but keep it to yourself and don't attack us who don't eat meat.
Spewing all those lies that not eating meat doesn't make a difference. Of course it makes a fucking difference. Google it and see how many animals are saved per year by one person being vegan/vegetarian.

Bottom line is, do whatever the fuck you want to do and leave other people alone.

If you want to save the environment be an ethical consumer. If you don't care don't be.

Do you and let others do them.


Peace.

46 days without meat and counting

Wow! I never thought I could make it this far! I'm very very surprised. I'm also very happy I quitted eating meat.
I still eat fish and seafood, but I will eventually stop eating those as well.
So how have these 46 days been for me?
Weird! 
Sometimes I do feel tired and dizzy -but I don't know if this has to do with me not eating meat- so I'm taking neurobion (b2, b6, b12) and omega 3 vitamins. I guess I got to buy meat substitutes as well soon. I shall go veggie shopping this week and update this post!
I have been eating vegetables (daily), fish (1-2 times a week), seafood (once every 2 weeks at least), fruit (once every 10 days -I know I should eat more often, but I don't like fruit that much), rice (3-4 times a month), legumes (4-5 times a month), pasta (6-7 times a month) and I tried soya meat a couple of times as well (it was very nice!). Moreover I drink loads of water and even though I know I shouldn't I drink at least 500ml of lipton ice tea a day. I also reduced the amount of salt I was eating (it was salt with food, not food with salt) -however I had a little relapse these days, but I'm working on it!!!

Eating healthier, trying to control what you consume and what kind of products you use in general are huge steps into changing your lifestyle. You will feel better believe me. You could just try for 10 days and then decide what works better for you. However the way we're brought up eating artificial and junk food, breathing car fumes, living in polluted cities it's like we haven't been given the choice to lead a healthy lifestyle. So create the choice for yourself!


Update: 23/3/2014 It's been one year and a week and I feel great! I do eat fish sometimes though :) Research and believe me you will realise meat isn't needed in our lives ^_^ As a vegan bodybuilder said "put life in you not death." However, everyone is free to make their own choices. 

Update: 4/2/2017 It's been almost for years that I quit eating meat and over 3 years that I quit eating fish, and a year since I started trying to be more eco-friendly.
Feeling good!

Peace

Seven days without meat and counting. . .

I don't know something has changed lately. I have changed. 
It's not the documentaries, the articles, the campaigns that convinced me.
It's just my brain telling me I was so stupid, cruel and ignorant all these years.
Now I realised why PETA and people who support animal rights post all these cruel videos.
The reason is people don't get it otherwise!
They need to see pure violence and bloodbaths to understand what's going on.
As a hemophobic I keep my distance from the sight of blood. 
However I suggest you watch the documentaries and posts of vegans and supporters of animal rights.
You will realise you are the problem.
We are the problem; and millions of animals suffer cruel deaths and torture because of us every day.
There is high demand. If there was no demand, animals would be free. And we would be humans.
I consider utterly hypocritical saying you love animals, and then eating them. Unless you got the balls to kill the animal with your own hands, paying respect to the life you took to eat, do not eat meat.
Going to fast food restaurants has destroyed us all. We are going to a place where selling dead bodies of tortured animals is legal. We eat them. I can't believe I hadn't realised this all these years!
I need good karma in my life and positive energy. Consuming meat coming from a tortured soul isn't good energy for sure. Have you ever wondered about the quality of life of the animals you eat?
Why do we let a mere desire -as I consider liking the taste of meat to be- to control our lives? 
People say 'I like it". Well, pedophiles like raping little children is that right? NO. So, why can't we control ourselves and behave? Are humans so weak?
I got so many questions about being vegan and vegeterian! Where can you buy food? Is it true that you need meat to survive? Is it natural for humans to be carnivores (because everyone's argument for eating meat is that our teeth are designed for it)? Do you need supplements or vitamins once you stop eating meat? Is it true that the toxines found in meat are the cause of bowel Cancer? I will start researching soon, and I hope to be strong and stay away from meat for ever or for as long as possible.
