Hmmm, I suggest you visit the butchery, and look into the eyes of the cows. Many say that the cows shed a tear while queuing there to be slaughtered. Maybe it's a myth.

Men kill and eat. It is no difference to kill in front of you or to kill and to freeze before being thrown to your fridge.



No need to lecture me about how farm animals are treated, Ninja . I belong to Compassion in World Farming and have no problem with killing animals for meat (even though I am a vegetarian). However, we have a duty to keep their suffering to a minimum. And, yes, I agree, if you eat meat, you should be prepared to kill it yourself

Aww Gracias Dilara

It sounds wonderful. Chile has always fascinated me since I was a child and would stare at its coastline in the atlas in awe! I would love to visit some day together with Easter Island (Rapa Nui), which has great botanic significance.

Is Chile not "West" though?....



That is great! Chile is worth seeing! as for Easter Island, it is very expensive to go there! even it is not affordable for average chileans but its "moais" are wonderful. Most of Chile's beauty is in its wonderful landscapes and of course, the people.

I truly hope one day you can visit here , the best time is in September when we celebrate Independence Day (actually " Independence Week" cos the celebrations last about 5 to 7 days!)

Actually, that is quite true. Have you ever read "The Secret Life of Plants" by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird?

Truly amazing. It shows us that we should have respect and reverence for whatever is sacrificed to sustain us.

As we have so much difficulty understanding other cultures, how much more difficult it is to understand different species.

Finally a subject we can agree on Alameda

I work in botany and I never cease to be amazed at how clever and adaptable plants are! From plants which mimic a piece of rotting meat (in looks and smell!) to attract flies for pollination through to plants which actually stab and kill animals so that they will die at their base and fertilise the soil!

I try not to think about it too much, but when we "farm" vegetables we are preventing them from fulfilling their "life destiny"!!! The real devotees of plants become "fruitarians" who only eat vegetables which have fulfilled their seeding cycle and fruit which has fallen to the ground naturally

I could not take things THIS far, but do try to eat only organic vegetables, and ones that I grow in my garden are never stripped of all their fruit or seed !

Even the most cynical of the gardeners I work with have been known to cry when chopping down a tree. There is something very spiritual about trees...

All forms of life deserve respect....
