Since animals have no voice, it is so very easy to justify their slaughter because of addiction to their flesh. Eating tortured, suffering animals and praising God at the same time is a slight contradiction. Don't let cultural programming freeze your heart and mind toward loving all of God's creation. Selfish desire to consume animal flesh has reconciled Christians to atrocities. Look how far removed we are from their houses of slaughter and suffering.
Meat is prevalent in our thoughts, while slaughterhouses so sparse in our minds.
We wonder why our society is rapidly decaying. Many people call themselves Christians, but it is evident they lack the true character of Christ. In a natural quest to reject the notion of death, different cultures adopt different sets of death-denying world views. Most cultures act out unconscious fears about death and torture by meting it out to the animal kingdom. We rationalize and justify this heinous behavior toward animals by giving the behavior different names.
