It is beyond essential that we allow into our awareness the realisation that the lives we forcibly bring into being to “sell on” still remain our ethical responsibility. In a similar way to the realisation that what we throw or flush away and think ourselves free of is now returning massively to swamp us – there is no “away”. There is no passing of the buck: we each are accountable for what we bring into being and perpetuate. This realisation was prompted by Australia feigning first ignorance and then non culpability for the horrific fate the animals they export are condemned to.
Consume only what is genuinely necessary, appreciate that destroying lives and ecosystems cannot be justified, and act responsibly.
Ultimately there is no authority to blame or hide behind, we will each have to face all of the consequences of what we do, eat, buy, support and condone.
