The Palestine, Eritrea, Chechnya and other occupied territory
and any other nation’s occupied territory, is nothing compare to the global occupation
by humans.
The occupation of the non-human animals’ homes.
The foundation of many nations is bound with a massacre in another one.
Unfortunately but not surprisingly, the non-human animals massacre is never mentioned.
There is no such thing as no man’s land. Even that term is outstandingly speciesist.
Animals live everywhere. For them the whole world is an occupied territory.
However, we must not disregard from the humans’ suffer.
We must not as animal rights activists - As suffer reducers; forget that humans
are capable of suffering too. It is very easy after being exposed to the immense
amounts of suffer that humans are causing to innocent non-human animals without
a blink. It is so easy to hate them. To seek for revenge.
It is not what we are asking for. We wish for a world without suffer.
We suggest
a radical but rational solution which will end the world’s suffer.
Suffer is what motivates us. Not rage, revenge or desperation. We absolutely
devoted to elimination of suffer from the world which means annihilation of the
human race who is responsible for 99% of it.
You know it’s the only way. All of you, we are sure, would have pushed the
button that would have destroyed everything, in order to stop the madness.
But that’s just talking. Turn the talking into actions. Because there is only one
solution.
Humans possess any possible area without even realize that their uncontrolled
striping destroys non-human habitats and consequently killing billions of them.
Humans don’t even try to mange in as small as possible area, in order not to
hurt so many animals. Hundreds can live in a space that currently only four
or five live in.
Moreover, humans have their own parking space, a store, a backyard, a
frontyard and all without even give a second of thought of all the
animals that were sacrificed for a place to put their fake plastic trees.
An uncontrolled expansion in a limited area is the
ideology of a cancer virus.
We don’t need genetic manipulation, battery cages, farrowing cages,
slaughterhouses, rodeos, zoos and circuses to seize the world as totally lunatic.
Civilization is more than enough to understand.
One of the most definite symbols of human’s alienation and domination over nature,
is his everyday use, assassin tool-his car.
When driving a car, humans are actually driving through the homes of other creatures.
Animals do not see the highway as off-limits. They cannot understand the concept
of road easements. The road is simply a cleared area of their living space. They
are sometimes even attracted to the asphalt pavement for reasons of warmth, or to
scavenge the decaying flesh of other creatures who were flattened and splattered by
some vehicle. Driving a car is like entering a crowded forest and shooting a gun. At
some point you are bound to hit and kill someone.
The humans’ apathetic and pathetic solution - to drive carefully, is so typical.
Just sweeping problems under the carpet. It is no more than another one of their
harsh speciesist ideas. Would they accept people driving carefully through their
backyard with their children running around their?
When humans kill non-human animals while driving they call it an accident.
That means they didn’t plan on them happening. If you fired a gun in the woods,
say, while target shooting, and some innocent animal was shot and killed, you
would call that an accident, too. But knowing that someone could have been shot
by your target practice makes that act irresponsible. You certainly would not
practice shooting in an area where children were playing. If you tried you would
be arrested. And if you killed someone, you would be sued for manslaughter. The
fact that it was an accident when a child was shot does not release you from the
burden of having killed him.
The same thing goes for driving a car through other creatures’ back yards. Some
will die because of your actions, and you know that. To continue to drive despite
this fact is irresponsible and an act of aggression against these innocent creatures.
The world’s communities are not self-sufficient. Transportation is the
life blood of the world economy.
So even if you are a strict vegan, as long as you are part of this “driving”
society, you’ll be responsible for suffer.
It is inevitable. Someone “has” to drive your vegan food.
Actually we are participating in the destructive distribution system that enabled the
food to get to market.
By participating in this cruel system, you have simply let someone else do the
killing for you.
Becoming a vegan is by no doubt the primal step for suffer reducing, But even a
vegan world won’t be enough. And there will never be a vegan world.
Related to road kills are two other covert abusers. One is the oil industry.
Most people are now aware of the environmental impact of oil drilling. Their
concern, however, is usually directed at the economic impact of oil spills.
Will it damage commercial fish hatcheries, or wash up on beaches located in
resort areas? Seldom is it considered that the homes of animals are being
polluted, regardless of the economic significance of those homes to humans.
Each year there are dozens of oil spills of all sizes,
killing millions of animals. The water skimmer, as he flies inches over
the water, dipping his lower beak into the top layer of ocean to sieve
the water for food, and finds his mouth coated with tar and oil. You
can imagine what marine mammals feel when they get covered with oil,
the sticky, smelly substance clumping their fur, stinging their eyes,
and clogging their nostrils and mouths. It doesn’t take much empathy
to imagine what these aquatic family members feel when their world
is contaminated with oil. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that
“accidents” will happen, and that more oil spills will occur. Is this
enough to stop society
from using oil products? Of course not.
The transportation system is enough of an inherent feature of our society
to condemn our system as irrevocably abusive to non-humans. But there’s more,
habitat destruction is not only committed in the name of highways. The roads
lead to building projects, whether they are new condominiums built on what
had been an “undeveloped” hillside, or a strip shopping center constructed
on what had been a “vacant” lot consisting of trees and grass.
(There are quotation marks around “undeveloped” and “vacant” because these are
human-centered words. “Undeveloped” simply means not yet built to human
specifications. Trees, moss, and other vegetation, burrows for small
animals, ant hills, bee hives, and nests are natural developments in
the lives of non-human creatures).
Clearing of land is nothing less than theft from its original inhabitants,
the animals.
It wouldn’t be right if someone came into your neighborhood and decided to
bulldoze your home to build their home.
 |
As far as the animals are concerned, it doesn’t matter why their homes are destroyed.
The issue is that they cannot eat, sleep, play, walk, or raise a family in an area taken
over by humans. And humans will take over land for more than building projects. Ski
slopes are on clear cut mountain tops. Mining not only levels mountains and buries
the area in tailings.
It also pollutes waterways, extending its destruction for miles. Utility easements,
making way for power and telephone lines, cut wide tracts of wilderness out of
existence, so that metal monsters can march across the landscape. The Lumber
industry rapes forests and desertifies once pristine lands.
|
Perhaps the greatest exploitation of land is caused by the grazing of domestic animals,
such as cattle and sheep. It is becoming common knowledge that rainforests are being
cleared largely for the grazing of cattle. But the issue is bigger than it seems at
first sight. Wild animals are destroyed, along with their habitat, to feed domestic
animals, and these domestic animals are then slaughtered for human consumption.
Oil is not the only energy source humans use.
Nuclear reactors, which release low levels of radiation
into the environment, damage local wildlife. Liberators
point out that if people living near nuclear reactors are
coming down with higher levels of leukemia and other cancers,
what do you think is happening to the millions of creatures
who haven’t the choice of living elsewhere ? Also, water used
to cool nuclear generators is heated and then returned to its
source, usually a river, raising the temperature of the surrounding
ecosystem. When the ecosystem
changes, animals dependent on old conditions are destroyed.
Nuclear reactors are not alone in being hazardous to non-humans.
Hydroelectric plants employ dams which alter the entire
ecosystem of huge expanses of land. Deserts become lakes, and
rivers downstream dry up to a trickle so that they can only
support a fraction of the beings that had come to rely on
their life giving waters.
No discussion of the damage to nature and its
animals by the energy production system would
be complete without mentioning the burning of
coal and its consequent production of acid rain.
Lakes have become barren waters, and forests have
been reduced to brown, lifeless rubble by the effects
of acid rain. Where did the millions upon millions
of animals who inhabited those lakes and forests go?
People don’t think about the effects of their energy consumption on non-human
beings. Who wants to see that when they turn on a light, they turn off a life?
The suffer cause is inevitable. Even for animal rights activists. All who participate
in this system are up to their necks in the blood of innocent creatures.
Even the most avid animal lover is guilty of murder by participating
in an evil, destructive system.
paying for animal research in medicine and the military, the predator
control program, subsidies to the logging industry, price supports to
grain farmers, the maintenance of public lands used by hunters, the
building and maintenance of highways, the defense of oil industry
investments, and many more animal abuses with their tax.
Don’t get us wrong we are not saying you should isolate yourselves
from society. It is not necessarily the most efficient thing to do. It
might hurt your activity. We are into efficiency not purism. Do what ever
it takes to complete the mission.
Our point is that there is no life without suffer.
Life is not worth it, if most of the creatures suffer most of the time.
