TO ME LIFE IS LIFE, BE IT ANIMAL OR HUMAN, THEIR LIFE TO THEM. is as much value to them as ours is to us , i would gladly starve or as i said cut meat out my diet to save a animal suffering. remember we wont die of starvation if we dont eat meat, as we have vegetables, and grains. and water , i cant stand animals suffering at the hands of man, for our own greeds,also on the other hand , i blame life , i dont think it is very godliness , for a start every animal has got to kill and eat a n other animal to survive , then if i dont eat red meat i may get a vitamin b deficancy. so where is the humanity in that , or the godliness , as i said i would rather starve as i love animals but not to eat . to look at with wonder at them as they are amazing, and we could learn a lot from them . i have a saying and it is this ; WHO IS THE ANIMAL,;, I DONT THINK IT IS THE ANIMAL, they have more feeling; people forget about the farm animals , they are treated the worst,and yet they supply the mosr, farm animals go ignored, with no voice to speak for them, i myself help a charity when i can , it is called ; COMPASSION FOR world farming;; and it fights for farm animals rights in parliment; and often goes undercover to report abuse of those amazing animals, who are meant to be adored not eaten, by us who are meant to be civilized, as i said who is the animal, in my book it is not the animal, why dont you google my charitie ; compassion in world farming' the farmer is responsible for their welfare, it is them that abuse the animals, as they are in their care, then it is the goverments fault for not being interested, and not laying heavy rules and fines, they are both only iterseted in profit. the farmer and the goverment, those animals are born in to hell death must be a reliefe, to them. i just cannot stand the abuse and i worry even more about animals outside the uk as some of those countries are worse than uk, why cant people give animals a life too. oh and hugh. is not putting this on here for money, to sel his book, what a horrible thought, he is trying to educate people what is happening in the farm world, he is trying to help animals, as i for one found out through it that sainsburys, works towards the animals , helping them etc, i am glad to put it here as i cant watch it on tv, as i cant seeing the ill treatment of animals, join charities like i do which help them, one is called, PAL. which stands for [political animal lobby ; they go to parliment and help to get laws for animals passed the other one is called COMPASSION.
