Before going any further, I must warn readers that the
material contained in this article is not for the faint-hearted, and
many may find it highly disturbing.
It concerns reports and communications I have received
from higher sources. These reports concern an alien civilization that
perpetuates sinister and barbaric practices against beings on their own
planet. It has been a solemn reminder to me, that although there are
many loving beings in the universe, there are also many who do not
respect life and are plainly deceitful and sadistic, and not to be
trusted.
I cannot elaborate on the source of my material.
Hopefully, readers will feel the truth behind my words, and use their
own discretion to understand what they can.
The first reports came to me approximately 4 years ago.
My 'source' began describing this civilization to me in horrific detail.
I will attempt to bring words to describe my memory of this discourse.
It began with a description of the ruling class on the planet. Their
history is littered with cruel and inhumane acts, so I suppose with that
in mind, their present-day situation is hardly surprising. The ruling
class have many sympathizers to the down-trodden, yet the uncaring
greatly outnumber them, so their voice is hardly heard.
There is one section of society who are treated so
despicably I grimace at the thought. This group are imprisoned, and the
ruling class are impervious and ignorant to their cries of pity and
distress. They beg for pity and for a release from their torment, to be
allowed to live their lives as they see fit and not be shackled and
imprisoned against their will. Their prison cells are so small, they
cannot even turn around and they never feel the warmth of their planet's
sun on their bodies. Yet, the ruling class do not care for them and are
disdainful of the cries. But this is not the most horrifying aspect of
this cruelty.
The poor imprisoned souls have one final indignity to
suffer. They are killed for the tables of the ruling class. They have no
dignity even in death. They live miserable lives only to end up as food
for the ruling class. Each individual is forgotten and simply looked
upon as a lower species. The cruelty and lack of compassion is
intolerable. I thanked God that our world is safe from this treachery.
Actually -- if the truth be known -- I am indeed talking
of our world.
The "sub-class beings" I described are animals. If you
were horrified that this could happen on another planet, be horrified
even more that it happens on your own. The animals I described are those
who are intensively or "factory farmed." It is true that most are kept
in stalls so narrow that they can't turn around. It is also true that
many never see the sun. Some are chained to the walls or floors of their
enclosure for the duration of their lives. They are artificially
inseminated and they must suckle their young through the bars of the
stall until they are cruelly taken away after a short time.
If we truly are a caring species, then our compassion
must extend to the other sentient beings who inhabit our planet.
Battery hens are kept in tiny cages and can't even
spread their wings. They are often debeaked, as chicks, with a hot wire
guillotine. Cattle are kept in feedlots where there is no room for them
to graze and they cannot walk to a pond to drink or shade themselves
under a tree. Pigs suffer in the most appalling conditions to satisfy
the bellies of humans. Millions of animals are slaughtered every day for
our food, for our clothing, for our "entertainment," or for scientific
research.
Please know with certainty that there has never been any
major scientific advances achieved through testing on animals. There ARE
alternatives to wearing animal by-products, and you WON'T die if you do
not eat your 'meat'.
There are many famous vegetarians including Leonardo da
Vinci, Plato, Pythagoras, Albert Einstein, Albert Schweitzer, Percy
Bysshe Shelley, George Bernard Shaw... the list goes on and on.
There are also world-champion athletes, runners,
triathletes, bodybuilders, and power lifters who insist on a vegetarian
diet. Not only will you not die if you give up meat eating, you will
find that you feel MUCH better. There's a wonderful lightness of being
and you will find that all of your bodily functions will improve.
We all want a world with less strife and more
compassion. Please, let's begin that compassion in the kitchen.
