animals

I am very interested in promoting veganism, especially as I have been striving to be vegan for the past five years and am very happy with the blessing of results. My biggest tip: read vitamin, mineral, and lipid labels to know the names of nutrients, then if a craving comes it can be properly identified and mitigated with vegan sourced nourishments. I hope that one day we will all be satisfied vegans.
One day may we look back and say: the rights of the beings of Earth became ever more common and good as we learned more about each other, and ourselves. Laws played the part of paving the road, on which we tread toward the equitable, fair treatment of all. Agreements, like the Geneva Convention, pointed to the discrepancies in how we treated others, and gave us hope for paradigms that could adequately shelter life on Earth.
When one surveys the Geneva Convention with the question of whether animals are being treated in a way that is egregious we realize that animals are kept captive, against their will in a warfare against them. They are often fed in a manner that disempowers their ability to evolve to a nourishing, vegan lifestyle, thereby forced to participate and be in service toward a crime in which they are too often the prize.
Now that the ADA has shown that vegan lifestyle is appropriate for proper nutrition, what is the point of continuing to drag our feet, and appetites, toward what is inevitably a better choice mentally, physically, sexually, and ethically. Two-thousand+ years ago, when the Bible was being written to help humans understand their role in dominion and stewardship of animals perhaps the goodness of using animals for their flesh was overemphasized, especially as many of us now realize we can serve ourselves better, and more correctly with other forms of food. As the culture is filled with nourishment from the bodies of the exploited, and often made to feel dependent on those sources of nourishment, how do we deal with behavioral outcome?
Perhaps we could take a moment to wonder if some of the ills of society are paralleled in the business of livestock culture. What do we pay workers to do? What do we expect our animal companions to live through, their only reward a short time of victuals and then death in digressive servitude.
Are the animal liberationists, the sanctuary facilitators, the zoo keepers as the “humanitarian organization” (Article 11) of the Geneva Convention in this war on animals? Allowed to protect the “wounded, the sick, children under fifteen, expectant mothers and mothers of children under seven” (Article 14), perhaps this ledger could include those who are not called on to vote and those who are themselves neutral as vegan consumers.
There is much work to do if we are to end the war on animals and learn to live in harmony with them. Helping them learn to utilize a vegan diet seems right, as does enriching them with a culture where they might even learn to farm for the good of themselves and the environments they inhabit.
It is true that in the maintenance of our metabolisms, which we arguably all have in some form or another, we use and manipulate our environment, but how we choose to do that is a point of consideration. Animals for food may be an outdated practice, as are animals in experimentation, no longer convinced they have no bearing on our worldview, we must challenge the status quo and habituated practices to gain a better understanding of ourselves as a peaceful people, outside the confines of war.

End game for animals: what do we have in mind, stewards?
Agricultural farming: tending the land and watching over the vegetation.
Intellectual stimulation: exposure to language, arts, history, natural laws.
Athletic opportunities: game learning and freestyle movement space.
Responsibility acknowledgment: age appropriate breeding, care for youth and community.
There should be sanctuary spaces, zoo living, wild environments.
Nourishment should be gathered where appropriate, and supplemented for optimal health.
Humans will serve as guides, facilitators for food, shelter, resources, related information.
All will enjoy a vegan lifestyle in peace and harmony with the society.
All will negotiate for desired goods, services, opportunities, and responsibilities.
