Christmas is supposed to be a time of goodwill, fellowship and peace on earth. It's also the time of year when more animals are slaughtered than at any other time.........so that humans can over-indulge.
When you are doing your Christmas grocery shopping please spare a thought for all the millions of pigs, cattle, sheep, veal calves and chickens whose short lives will end horribly in industrial slaughter plants.
Let that thought determine what you buy and prepare for your Christmas and New Year feasts.
If you can't bear to go without meat at Christmas, try to find meat products from animals who had a decent quality of life before they were processed?These two dear little faces imprinted themselves on my aching heart and I can't erase their images. Crated veal calves longing to be out on lush pastures with their mothers.
Standing on slatted floors and underfed an iron free diet to make their meat pale.What's wrong with us? How can we deliberately inflict months of cruelty so that meat has a particular colour or flavour?
Plan your Christmas and New Year festivities with joy and love in your hearts........but most of all with compassion!
