Your blood is not safe to use…
I was lying awake, insomniac that I am, at 3am this morning, and the thought occurred to me that some may consider that my belief in and assertion of Vegantopia might be over romanticised idyllicism. As if freedom for all Earthlings could indicate an existence without suffering. No I don’t think that it is possible under current, grossly negatory vibrational density, for any being to enjoy a life of bliss. That is not the goal though is it. The immediate goal is to end the deliberately inflicted abuses and cruelties of animal enslavement. Nirvana for all is a bit further down the road.
It is yet another example of the twisted reasoning used by carnists to discredit, mock and undermine veganism’s efforts towards all species Liberation. From my earliest attempts to articulate my awareness that things were badly wrong in fharming, back in the late 60’s, I have had to endure the ignorant opinions of the elitest human supremacists denying that there was anything abusive about depriving animals of their right to a natural, self governed life. What could be more natural than to be corralled with a bunch of other castrated clones, with nothing else to do than eat slaughterhouse floor sweepings mixed with the discarded plant fibres from corn flakes and porridge held together with molasses. Foodstuff produced in the cheapest way possible, to get rid of the sinews, bones and gristle of previous occupants of the meat, dairy and egg prison systems.
How inconvenient that only 50% of the live body weight of creatures is palatable to humans. Of course it was clever to mulch up the byproducts and feed it back into the system. There’s only so much blood pudding humans can be induced to eat, so it was discovered to be a usefully proteinatious milk substitute for calves whose real food was stolen to put in tea. What could possibly go wrong in feeding obligate herbivores on the dead bodies of their own kind? CJD for one thing. My brother and his wife were regular blood donors before emigrating to Australia. CJD is known to be so ubiquitous an infection amongst Brits that their blood is too dangerous to be accepted. Have I not been saying for years that what we label as early onset Alzheimers / dementia and other terms for rampant brain mushing is disguised CJD?
When I had my hip replacement surgery I said I’d be willing to have a recycled artificial hip joint. Both because I’m a deep greeny and also because the earlier models used titanium and were well nigh indestructible. Nowadays titanium has been discarded and plastic is used instead. “Oh we don’t re-use hip joints”, I was told. “Well you used to didn’t you, because they cost so much it was a waste to throw them away when their first host passed away?” “Well yes, but then it was discovered that CJD prions lodge in the depths of our joints, so the practise was abandoned and cheaper components used”. Direct quote from my orthopaedic surgeon.
Have you noticed there’s mention of CJD on a lot of medical forms now? And we’re asked a lot to declare if we’ve been around farm animals recently. Mark my words its a hidden epidemic being concealed because there’s no way to kill it. Zombie apocalypse preparedness involves mass internment camps followed by mass graves. But giving up our MAD (MeatAndDairy) addictions is too extreme and controversial a step to consider??
