Bovine salughter and bird flu/238
temper represented by'Spectator' writing in its editorial “Stay sane, eat beef" and the like of "roubst western values writing"- 'To conquer superstition we must now eat British beet" -are cynics ,making out bursts, which are patently perverse and suicidal.
Even raising poultry, on large-scale world-wide and consequent epidemic of birds flu recently has caused much loss of human life. It is becoming alarming and heaven knows that despite cruel wholesale destruction of fowls etc in millions, the fatal disease recurs frequently and in severity. World wide destruction of about half of rain forests and potable drinking water tables reaching, rock-botton, it is little wonder that resort to non vegetarianism be regarded as a taboo. It may be in near future, a cause of world war to caputre and own such sources of potable drinking water, as great powers make conflicts for scarce commodity as fuel oil, gas, etc.
It is high time they read the message writ large on the wall i.e. of 'vegetarianism', 'of peaceful coexistence with our lower-fellow animal-beings, of, 'live and let live', not as inheritors but as trustees of the planet earth, where alone life survives.
