When people were conditioned to eat certain animal species and are convinced it was normal, natural and necessary, they’ll always find something to justify it. This invisible belief system or ideology is called carnism.

We were taught to love dogs, cats and other pets, but many people were trained to live with a “gap of consciousness” that makes them see meat as food, not as a piece of a dead animal. Carnism prevents people from seeing cattle, pigs, chickens or fish as living, breathing individuals with a mind and personality. This belief system is so widespread and entrenched in many cultures that it’s considered to be "the way things are" instead of being questioned.

Many people aren’t aware of the ghastly ecological and social consequences of meat consumption, but without awareness, we cannot make free choices.

Thank you for the request of my spider work

I read in the newspaper that preserving all existing nature reserves of the world and establishing new ones would cost about 60 billion Euros each year. This seems to be a huge amount of money, but it actually matches less than 20% of the worldwide expenses for soft drinks.

I really had to swallow that…

thanks for the invited my work here ^^
