In my view as a pagan, I do not see it my right to make the decision to cull. I cannot resolve the act of taking away a life no matter how I look at it. I also do not see myself as 'higher' than an animal and apply the same principles to animal life as I do human life. Intuitively you know what feels right however, that is if you meditate and feel the vibrational affects of your actions within yourself and your environment. I find that more useful personally that trying to reason something out as you can always find reasons for things. For Jade's example. If a farmer was not keeping cows for dairy and food in the first place, the cows would not be in the position for their legs to break. Again, hard to know where it all begins and ends.

What would happen to all the cows Mel if Jade and her friends and consumers didnt need them,would they be left to roam? Regards to all. Squinney man. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
