TO THE ADAMENT UTOPEAN ADVOCATES OF ABATTOIRS
By 'DIVYADARSHI
In spite of eye opening FACTS laid down by the Seers & Practical Constructive Workers of this country, if the adamant Utopean Advocates of Abattoirs and the Government goes ahead with its Utopean, unpractical, nationally unsuitable plans of setting up of modern mechanical abattoirs in the name of science, hygiene, economy and what not. I clearly foresee the future of this city, this country and this humanity going to doom & total destruction.
They talk of science & scientific outlook and the so called 'scientific killing'?, but they forgot that right use of the science is for peace, happiness & creation and NOT FOR KILLING, killing of the mankind serving, economically useful and innocent animals!
They talk of health, hygiene & hygienic conditions, but they do not know at all the secret of health, which lies in VEGETARIAN food only and entirely. Killing itself, whatsoever scientific & sophisticated, is cruelly unhygienic and MEAT is scientifically & medically proved diseases-providing and health-polluting Diet. Go to the West and honestly inquire, study the results and accept the Truth openly if you find any worth in this. It is unfair & unscientific to talk of hygienic conditions without this sincere and in-depth study.
They talk of pollution & environment, but either they are ignorant or deliberately twisting the crystal clear facts that modern abattoirs are the worst birth-places of pollution in several ways and are nuisances & enemies of NATURE & ENVIRONMENT. For Truth's sake, will they study the entire factual science behind this?
They raise hue & cry of economy & employment problems, but do they have real study of our country's conditions and right perspective of national economy? If so, they will know (if they honestly want to) that the very base of our country's economy is AGRICULTURE and the Centre of Agriculture is preservation of cattle life for ploughing, for manure, for milk food and for entire human welfare. When this base & centre of our country's economy is destroyed by continuous slaughtering of the worthy & useful animals under several & entirely lame excuses, nothing is going to remain with us except the destruction, self destruction. Even economically, MEAT is the costliest food.
They amusingly talk of providing instant death (and perhaps 'salvation'!), and quick & painless killing(?), to the animals by mechanical slaughter, but they overlook that they are not preventing the cruelties to them but are tremendously increasing the same, since no slaughtering (whether mechanical or otherwise) could be painless or cruel-less and moreover the mechanical slaughtering is going to multiply in numbers beyond calculation & imagination. All this is proved by the country's several modern abattoirs. IF COMPASSIONATE, LET THEM HAVE REAL MERCY & COMPASSION AND NOT THIS
