Pig Slaughter
Fact: About 4 pigs are slaughtered every second in the USA.
Fact: In Malaysia, the pig population numbers up to 1.8 million.
What do these numbers indicate?
It means many animals are SUFFERING. It means many animals are being slaughtered. And it means even more animals are about to be slaughtered.
Watch the two videos below, recorded in a pig farm in the Philippines. Pigs are highly intelligent animals, even more so than dogs and certainly even more than any 3 year old child. It is extremely sad to watch these animals suffer such a horrible death…

You’ve probably spent 15 minutes reading this post and watching the videos, and while you were doing that, 3600 pigs just got slaughtered.
If you cringed when you heard the pig scream, then never eat pork and never eat meat. Do not, even in the slightest way be involved in the death of animals. GET INVOLVED in putting a stop to it.
Make a pledge to be vegetarian today. Commit to be vegetarian for a week, a month or even a day. Every effort counts. Therefore I also have a very special request for all my blog readers – find out more about this VERY SPECIAL OFFER.
Remember, send this strong spiritual message to the world by you who are my blog readers never eating meat… Never participate in any way to the screams, fears, and cruel slaughter of animals. GO VEGETARIAN AND SPREAD THE MESSAGE TIRELESSY TO EVERYONE. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU FOR BEING VEGETARIAN OR SPREADING THE MESSAG BUT YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY.

The animals of the World exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans, nor to die for them so that humans can live. The animals of the planet are in a deplorable phenomena, and perhaps, they are fully aware of this. No less than what humans beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are also seeking santuary. As compassionate spiritual practicioners, we should refrain from commiting actions that cause sufferings, such as creating causes for animals to be tortured, beaten, imprisioned, and finally killed for humans to live on to enjoy their flesh. The ability to have life, liberty and to persue happiness should apply to all sentient beings, who are desreving of such basic rights. As the Dalai Lama has said, “Today, more than ever before, life must be characterised by a sense of universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.” Syabas to our Buddha of Compassion, the Dalai Lama.
