We eat the same plants. We share the same air, water, soil and food with every other life form on our planet. We are born into life by the same means as other mammals and when we die, we, like them, become part of the soil which will nourish future generations. Each animal and plant has its own unique intelligence and spirit. We may compete with other plants and animals, but we must not wantonly destroy them.
All life is absolutely as sacred as human life.
Although hunting and killing for food are part of nature s order, when we do so it must be done with respect and thankfulness. I decided on a major lifestyle change by purchasing a 335 acre farm about two and a half hours drive west of Sydney. We moved in just after Christmas and have been on a rather steep learning curve ever since. We had spent all our lives living in the city and now we live about twenty minutes drive from a major shopping centre. Previously we could be there in less than five minutes.
