To conclude
Our increasing demand for milk is resulting in breeding of millions of
animals. Maximum milk is extracted from the shortest possible time and this
reduces life of animals. Skin of living animals is used to make our shoes, belts,
jackets, purses, etc. Many of the items of our daily usage and some food items
contain animal ingredients.
All this leads to killing of animals and provide economic support to meat
industry.
A request for reduction in milk consumption and stopping usage of
leather products is made based on two main principles of humanity.
Principle of co-existence: which state that 'welfare of any living being is
dependent on welfare of other living beings. You cannot attain peace and
prosperity by doing any harm to any other living being.
Principle of minimal harm: Whenever we find ourselves in a situation
where all the options at hand result in some harm to those who are innocent,
we must choose the option that will result in the least harm.
Do we ever think...
May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their pain.
May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power,
and may people befriend all life. True path of Ahimsa... from Vegetarian to Vegan lifestyle..
