At a recent vegan activism event at London’s Trafalgar square, an anti vegan troll wanted to kill me as he somehow sniffed out that I am a witch (a reputed Indian Wiccan that I have been known to be for years – video embedded below the article). He was of course angry as he was religiously intolerant as well as anti-feminist, apart from anti-animal rights. If you are a feminist and believe in gender and LGBTQ equality, you must be Vegan. Want to know why?
Some people think that not eating meat on some days or most days, or even being a vegetarian is a great thing to do for their health, for the planet, or for animals. The association they have with graphic violence or murder ends at ‘meat’ of animals. But are they right? What about the other animal products they consume, such as unfertilized eggs and dairy milk items?
Here are some reasons why not to be vegetarian, and to be strictly vegan instead.
- Breeding animals or farming them is essentially the rape of females and sexual abuse of males to collect sperms and inseminate the females artificially. These animals never had the freedom to find a mate they liked, or any sexual pleasure ever throughout their life. They are non consenting sexual and reproductive slaves whose bodies are continually manipulated and abused whenever the farmer wants to use them. This is a gigantic evil in itself.
- Unfertilised eggs are still a product of abuse. The farmers want more and more eggs and for them they need more female hens. Therefore they still need to fertilize a large number of eggs to grow their business and continue earning profits by satisfying consumer demand. Therefore male baby chicks are useless to them once born as they segregate male and female chicks and kill the males usually on the first day of their birth, as soon as they hatch from their shells looking for their mother. The method of killing is pure torture, usually live maceration which is similar to being put in a blender, only a hundred times worse and more painful to the little ones, and sometimes gas chambering that is prolonged suffering. They could even be suffocated to death in garbage bags. Many a times macerated chicks are turned into filthy chicken nuggets or dirty pet food.
- Free range is horror. Not only are hens forced to suffer in stinking and filthy sheds or barns in free range industry if not caged, the baby chicks are also killed on the day of birth if male. Similarly baby male calves are also shot in the head or slayed to produce veal as male cows are useless to the dairy industry and farmers want to cut costs and focus on the females, in order to reproductively exploit them as sexual slaves. Mothers are always grieving the loss of male babies and the babies are crying for mums and separated that adds to psychological torture and is a huge sin.
- Egg laying hens and dairy cows are genetically manipulated with breeding to produce too many eggs and too much milk that leaves their body sore and emaciated. Hens as jungle fowls in the wild produce no more than one egg a month as it is similar to human females having periods on a monthly basis. These eggs consume the energy of the bodies of the females and suck out their nutrition as hens lay more than 300 eggs instead of 12 a year. This is pure cruelty. Similarly cows were originally wild aurochs in nature and now extinct and domesticated into the current version. They are bred to produce excessive milk and their udders are swollen and infected and often they collapse of their weight and become lame. They also have mastitis, a painful breast condition, as they are unable to feed their babies who are kept far away on formula.
- All animals that are farmed end up in slaughterhouses and that too after a highly reduced lifespan.
- Eggs and dairy items contain toxic germs. Eggs are anally secreted and super filthy, and so is dairy. You would not dream of living in those filthy farms with all the faeces, wounds, and urine around that these animals spend their short lives in.
- Eggs and dairy contain cholesterol that clogs your arteries and reduces the longevity of your heart and also blocks your brain blood supply, causing dullness and lack of energy. Vegan food has zero cholesterol and you have never felt better than being vegan.
- Eggs, dairy, meat, have antibiotics that cause you even more illnesses and reduce your immunity and ability to get helped by antibiotics due to antibiotic resistance.
- Animal products are carncinogenic or cancer causing, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and bowel cancer, among others being linked to eggs and dairy. By being vegan you are saving the lives of your children and other family members. Mental health problems such as depression, autism, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease are also linked with dairy consumption and that of other animal products. More in my previous articles with research data, linked here.
- Humans do not need to have eggs or dairy milk as we are technically primates who are frugivore apes in the animal kingdom as per our true nature and need dietary fibre which is absent in animal products causing so many illnesses to us. Anything and everything we need can be vegan including eggs and milk substitutes, leather, fur, and all our products and services. Try tofu scramble, or vegan egg replacers in the supermarket, and a variety of plant milks and plant based dairy desserts cheeses, tofu paneers, and ice-creams to go plant based completely and be vegan by boycotting all products of animal exploitation.
- By going vegan, you will help in saving the environment by causing less deforestation and prevent the methane, nitrous oxide and CO2 produced by the animals who are bred to the tune of over 80 billion per annum for animal farming by food industry alone, consuming most of the crops on earth, and taking away our land thereby impoverishing humans, taking away all the real estate, causing inflation, taking away al our taxes for their enormous subsidies, and making the economy collapse under their weight.
Listen to the powerful voices in this video below for more clarity and watch the clips included within for evidence on live chick maceration. Would you press the button and put baby chicks in the blender yourself? Then please boycott these horrifically graphic slaughterhouses and be a Vegan, and not just vegetarian.
