What's comes to your mind first…!
🥾 1) A Spider? Crush it!
🍣 2) A Tuna? Belongs in Sushi.
🏇 3) A Horse? Someone should be sitting on it.
🛟 4) A Sea Turtle? Save the sea turtle.
🍳 5) A Chicken? Leg Piece? KFC?
😻 6) A Black Cat? Ominous?
🧀 7) A Cow? The holy animal of India, beef must be banned everywhere, but can’t live without cheese.
This list goes on when we talk about egoism versus veganism. All stereotypical mindsets that keep prejudices alive from generation to generation while having nothing to do with reality.
We humans are social creatures. Belonging to some community, adopting its behaviors and consuming opinions, which has been crucial to our survival. It’s simply part of us, and that is completely understandable. However, we must recognize that what is considered normal at one time and what our community claims to be normal is neither necessarily the truth nor the new generation bound to follow it.
Why can't we look at every animal neutrally, and feel inside what we truly feel about them, instead of just listening to what our society says? The pointing to discriminatory practices among humans has thankfully been becoming viral media contents and appearing in a mainstream news stories, now we just need to take it one step further and extend this to other species.
Every animal has their life and their role on this earth. They were not born to be placed in our culturally adopted cruel practices. The moment human animals realize this, we will start treating other animals (and each other) nicely.
