THE DEATH OF HUMANITY

We need to delete the word ‘Humanity’ from our description of man, as man no longer can claim current humanity and the future seems even more at odds with the words meaning or use. Humanity is defined as the condition or quality of being human; human nature and ss the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence.

HUMANITY IS DEAD.

Many times, many turn away, desensitized by media reports of animal cruelty; of the slaughter of whales in the southern oceans, of mass killings of dolphins in the waters off Japan, or of the annual slaughter of baby seals; or of the killings of Gods creatures for the bush-meat trade.

We do nothing other than express our anger when we hear of the destruction of habitats by deforestation for commercial gain that results in species extinction around the world. We cage and exploit for our entertainment animals we share this planet with.

We farm for our western meat eating diets, cows, sheep/lambs, pigs, chickens and other living breathing creatures. We farm marine life and much more.

I am by no means blameless for these practices for I like many millions around the world, am a carnivorous human. I have never considered a strictly vegetarian diet, denying myself the taste of a filet mignon or breast of chicken. The pork roast for a Sunday lunch with the family has always been a favourite, and the turkey, ham and seafood, served up as a sumptuous Christmas dinner is a yearly feast we celebrate.

But reassess I just might.

When the practice of Balut eggs described to me as the practice in some Asian countries of cooking and eating a duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside, I was too sickened at that time to write this article. When I read the words of the person who had posted the picture on the internet I had nothing but disgust for him.
He wrote:

This is the cooked duck embryo. The yellow part tasted like a rich egg yolk whilst the "birdy" bit had a very light chicken and egg white flavour with discernibly soft feathers, bones and organs.

I will allow you to form your own opinion of where we go from here. For me I will turn my back on the sickness of humanity that considers this form of barbarism acceptable to any culture and broadly denounce their claim to the word humanity; as in them, it is dead.
