EATING=KILLING?

Well, that was quite an experience being with the wimmin the last time at the (LHD -in- wimmin-only space) event, it was really charged,and here we are again let us see what happens this time. This womon started out with a question, her question. Everybody speaks of a plant based diet being important to us as wimmin and as lesbian separatist dykes and as feminists, i want to know what are your feelings about eating fish and other sea animals? She said she did not think that sea animals felt pain, and that there were so many in the sea that surely that was a sign from the higher powers that it was OK for them to be eaten. Well! now that's something. Well one womon said that there are a lotta humans on earth was that a sign from the powers to be or the higher powers that humans should be eaten? Another womon there said she was a practicing Buddhist and being so made her really examine the concept of "mercy" as an important way of learning how to become a better human being and having a compassionate heart, and this caused her not to eat animals from the sea. She said if we thought that sea animals have no feeling watch how they try to escape from being cooked alive when they have been thrown into boiling water. She said the pain she had watching a lobster or eel being thrown into hot water reminded her of the pain she had when she slammed a finger in a car door, and that did not kill her but to watch the poor animals being boiled to death as they try to escape the hot water made her want to never eat these being again. She felt that their death was worst then being at war, as she said, we know humans can go decades without war but these animals face this kind of death daily and at the hands of humane humans. Well honestly when she finished with what she said i thought to myself i don't think i can look another lobster,shrimp or frog and think of eating them.
