VEGETARIAN OR NOT

A person--that I haven't known from before-- sent me a link that she wanted me to check out on the Internet. I clicked on the link and a movie started about animals in slaughter houses, and also bullfighting. It was not a pleasant view.

Suddenly, I had to run out from the room for a minute, when I returned, Olivia my four-year-old daughter was watching the film.

It was a pig in a slaughterhouse, and the pictures were very graphic. I held my breath, angry at myself that I hadn’t clicked it away. Her face was very serious and she turned her little white face towards me and said, “Mommy look, the pig is hurt.”
“I know baby, it is because we eat meat.”
Her eyes were glued to the screen, and I could see how she was thinking. “That is not good, mommy you go, and get the pig.”


For over 20 years I have been a vegetarian. I have never talked to Olivia about why I don't eat meat. It's just not an issue (yet). At dinner time, I make what she chooses: vegetarian or meat. Since dad is a meat eater (and Max), there is always the option before her.

What was it Linda Mc Cartney said? "If all slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarians."

Do you Know Whom you Ate Today?

It is easy to go to the store and buy meat. It doesn't have any background of treatment that you knnow of, no sound, it is "just" plain dead.

Were is the respect? Would you treat your pet this way?

Look at this video clip, and take a stand for them who doesn't have a voice. Remember, our silence is also a way of being guilty to what is going on. Sign the petition. This is a video from USA, but you have it too, in your country....The cruelty doesn't have a nationality!

This is not Amore, but YOU can turn it around!
