Needlessly eating our Kin feeds the wealthy elites The Love Theorist
-
- 사회 과학
This is the second part of chapter 3 called ‘Eco injustice’ from my book, Broken-heartedness: Towards love in professional practice. Like some of the other chapters, it is very difficult to read for the tragedies it describes. Here my personal experiences with other animals who are used by humans required of me an ethical re-set as an adult towards non harming of all animals. As the daughter of a farmer and hunter and a citizen of a society that is prejudiced against other animals, it was a slow awakening that species injustice has profoundly disturbing impacts.
Issues that comprise matters of eco injustice are very troubling and do not have immediate solutions. The circumstances for millions of farmed animals across the planet are dire and show the devastating underbelly of economies which rely on mass scale slaughter of defenceless animals. Humans love other animals, and it is important to us that they do not experience cruelty. Humans do not need to eat other animals to access protein and other nutrients. Yet there is a moral amnesia due to the animal industrial complex operated by wealthy private businesses that normalises the meat industry. The wealthy are typically financially subsidised by governments which sanction the use of some animals for human consumption.
A societal level ethical re-set which equally values all our Kin is needed for personal and world peace. It begins with a loving regard for other animals of all kinds.
