Vegan Advocacy 1000 Years Ago
This is an excerpt from "Against Animal Sacrifice," an essay in Buddhist Scriptures and part of a post in SuperVegan.com:
My, we've come a long way.
What need to destroy so many lives in quest of rich and exotic flavors? People gorge themselves from cup and tray to the music of reed pipe and song, as butchered animals scream on the chopping block. Alas! Could anyone with a human heart be so insensitive as this? That the whole world engages in this without realizing its error, surely this is [an] example of something so painful that one weeps endlessly with grief?
When you know that the creatures on your tray come, struggling and squealing, from the chopping block, then you are making their extreme anguish your greatest delight...Is it not the height of insensitivity?
