[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 148706, member: 2610"] Not about bleeding or making noises but consciousness. Are they conscious enough to suffer? Clearly cows, pigs, chickens are conscious, they do suffer in tight spaces with hardly much room to breath; they do suffer in factory farms. The only way to humanely eat meat is to have your own regular, pind-style farm or grab meat from a friend's pind-style farm. If you do, then it hardly matters how you kill the animal since it's whole life it enjoyed, in wide open fields, free from predators, with human [U]servants[/U]. The last few moments are less important. Trying to reduce human/animal suffering is what it's all about. Hence what Kds ji's point is equally important, if not more so. All this (modern) technological infrastructure, all these people can now live in one country. Farms need to be shut down and factory farms need to be opened. (Education is based on this type of industrial model. Hinders creativity and human flourishing. Look up "Ken Robinson TED talk" on youtube. First two links.) I believe modern technology has created more problems than it has solved. We quickly run after the quick fix, while breaking everything behind us. Modern technology makes us think of the world as a quantitative skeleton - food becomes %fat, % protein, students in a university become billing units, animals become "Grams of meat". Thus, it never gives us a chance to develop reverence towards other life, towards nature... and perhaps more importantly towards each other! Also if you have been in a metropolis, the entire thing, although beautiful on one level, is so stiff, straight edges, etc. 50 buildings of the exact same form, erected all in the same area!? We have created our environment so that nature is hardly present around us. There are no stiff, straight edges in nature, no two things look alike, so complex, so rich, so vivid, if you only look once. It is uplifting, breathtaking, so vast and right in your face, but invisible to most people. What is visible is the cellphone, emails, and the time. Mere numbers and words more important than nature itself? Madness, is it not? It would take much more concentration to pay attention to the bit of nature that is present in our modern environments (tiny shrubs, dirt, hardly visible clouds, few trees). But no one has this concentration because information is rapidly pumped into our minds, so fast we could choose not to pay any attention and yet we will pick out "there" product, watch "there" TV show, movies, etc. Buildings closed off from the outside, with four walls and a roof. Cut you right off from anything outside. Internet, chat rooms, youtube, forums... sadly what I am doing right now. Why is nature so important one might ask? The answer is very simple, under our noses, but hardly ever realized (intuitively), we ARE nature. This needs to be realized if we want to get out of our mess. Of course, to realize this one must concentrate, contemplate, meditate... who has time for that? Make time. Go and just look at clouds, trees, birds, listen to all the sounds. It's heaven. These issues go much deeper and lead me right to the core essence of all faiths, spirituality itself. But who wants to become a [U]servant[/U]? We all want to be rulers. Rulers of earth who first pis*ed on it then blew it up... (some pessimism but necessary to get the point across) With that said, other TED talks reveal that people are waking up to this.
