Our subjects cover: animals, religion (Christian, Jewish and
others); diet and lifestyle (vegan and vegetarian); and other miscellaneous
subjects.
I don't know the answers either. In my heart, I want to go out with a huge
group of people and posters, storm the capitol, and help bring dramatic
changes quickly! However, it doesn't seem realistic to me, as I always
visualize the blase' looks from bystanders and security guards hauling us
off to jail. So I've leafletted and continue to donate, sign petitions, add
comments to newspaper articles, and try to encourage others in a much
subtler way. I am discouraged by the Christian church's general refrain from
approaching the problem but stopped doing much of anything (other than
complain) to try to overcome it.
Sometimes I wonder if it will take something major, i.e. meat-related
illness epidemic or mass environmental problems from factory farms, to
finally realize some major changes. In the meantime, I keep wondering if ANY
animals raised to eat had happy lives and instant, painless deaths.
Hey, I have it now! How about a law which states that each household can
have any type of meat in an amount equal to what their pet weighs--and ONLY
IF they sacrifice their dog, cat, etc.? That won't work either--because some
people might do it!
Let's keep (literally) PRAYING!
