In the Reptile House at the zoo in Atlanta, they used to have a sign that said "The Most Dangerous Animal" and as you looked up you saw that it was a mirror. Indeed.
Funny how some people seem to have taken this as a sexist picture - I can assure you it wasn't meant that way at all - it was a comment on humanity as Kay's Reptile House recognised!
Not until I came back to read comments (but before I came to yours!) did I suddenly see the "double trap". I wish I could say it's all in the language, but is it? Oh dear, now you've got me into deep water...
Just now, by your picture I realize that most people (except if they're vegetarian) must have hundreds of tortured and killed animals at dinner / for breakfast / lunch. Hundreds. Each. Year.
Even candies and puddings - when they contain gelatine - have a part of at least one murdered animal in it...
I have been 'part-time vegetarian' since several years (and I try to buy meat of animal-friendly-kept animals, sounds paradoxal of course, but the bio-industry even more tortures animals). Thanks to your post I think I (and all of us) should consider to be a full-time vegetarian... (and be aware to not use rainforest-and-other-places-destroying alternatives...)
Hello - thanks for dropping by to leave a comment. Your comments are much appreciated even if I don't always reply. They will appear as soon as they have been moderated.
I am using Instagram and Facebook a lot more nowadays and sometimes they are replacing my posts on the blog. If you want to follow me on Instagram my address is @cjohnedwards. On Facebook I can be found at Clive John Edwards but you will need to send me a request to follow me as it is not open to the public.
That's so true.
ReplyDeleteExactly. We are children playing with we know not what.
ReplyDeleteTragically true indeed.

ReplyDeleteI believe you Bruv. Thousand's wouldn't (as Mum used to say).

DeleteSo true. And not only in a land, far, far away...
