As I was won over by my friend to accompany her at this fancy fast food center to take away a meal for herself, I found myself stepping inside what I would call it a beautified nightmare. RED, the color that prompts hunger was all around me. I was inside the KFC.
Well I saw 3 counters with cashiers attending 3 different queues of guests. There was a fine mix of people. A couple of girls, complete with shining finger nails, talking about how this and how that, belonging to the very nearly reaching the majority of females who are literate in our country (female literacy at 54.16% , India). Then there was a north Asian, all confused with the Indian currency, struggling with math. He did attract a bunch of people smiling at his gullibility, but inside annoyed, having to wait. A bunch of young adults here and some middle-aged there. Amidst the students, the corporate, and people from other sectors I also saw those who were responsible for the swarm of eaters. The chickens. Well I saw them, but dead. I saw them chopped, diced, coated, fried, tossed upon each other. Literally speaking, pieces of dead bodies of a lot of chickens, together. Ah, I totally failed at framing a nastier statement to freak of the meat eaters, eh? Anyway I have more to say. In fact there is no reason for those people ordering a piece of it to feel miserable and sympathetic towards the poor animal. Why should they be expected to have pity when the large visuals on the walls around them are wrongly describing the chickens inviting them to be their meals!? The pictures suggest the idea that chickens are merrily wanting to be eaten, that they feel no pain, that they have no life of their own.
Happy chickens faces? Healthy chicken pictures? Tempting?
NO. That is, sadly, not the reality, not even close. I would appreciate you watch this video and decide.
Do you know where the chickens you eat at KFC or McDonalds or other meat offering outlets come from? How they are raised? The conditions they are kept into? And most importantly, why are they being raised, at this rate? Using such unnatural methods and conditions?
The answer is inside us. It is the demand that we bring up is responsible for the large scale slaughter houses, the factory farming which is quick, cheap and infinitely cruel and brutal.
All we want is a comfortable life. A luxuriously comfortable life. We don’t care if the fulfillment of our satisfaction results in cruel deaths, rather mass murder of chickens. The pleasure which lingers on our tongue for hardly ten minutes?
Sad to conclude that we have become so weak mentally that we feel no shame in killing others to fulfill our temporary wants. And to hide that psychological weakness, we seek the support of baseless arguments to do with ‘better health’, which can be easily defeated by a well-informed person.
Since when did man turn so selfish? So ignorant?
And all this is not just about chickens; it’s about every animal being mercilessly killed inside slaughter houses. Being tortured, burnt alive.
Animals are the prettiest creatures on the earth. They have a well developed complex body like ours; they experience happiness, sadness and pain just like we do. The only thing different is that they aren’t selfish. Like we humans are, or have become. Don’t ignore their plea. They want their life back.
HOW does one person quitting non-vegetarianism make a difference?
The average vegetarian spares the lives of over 50 animals each year. That adds up to thousands during a lifetime. Spread the word and lower the demand and boycott this industry.
So what would you decide? I say, choose to put a stop to this inhumane and cruel lifestyle.
