Kindness, Love, and Respect

Let's talk for a minute.
I have a little problem with the fact that we yell and scream and want prison time when someone kills a dog or cat but we find absolutely nothing wrong with the death of billions of animals.
We enslave, torture, rape and murder cows, pigs, chickens, sheep but the moment a dog gets injured we want someone's head. It is like the white guy that got arrested and shouted out "you're treating me like a black person." We put dogs and cats on a pedestal and turn a blind eye to the suffering of others. It is simple if we can not treat the most innocent of beings with kindness, love, and respect how can we ever treat each other with kindness, love, and respect? These animals that have never done a thing to us is being treated in the worth possible way! Let's talk about the cow as a human. We take the women and rape her so that she can produce more slaves. We take her babies so that they cant drink her milk. We take her milk. We either kill the baby or have her grow up to be just like her mommy, a slave. We beat her whenever she doesn't do what we want her to do. We make sure she is constantly high on drugs. We make her produce as many babies as possible and take every one of them. We get her either chained or caged until she can no longer produce babies. Then we take a gun to her head and pull the trigger. We eat on her lifeless body. the body of a dead, decaying corpse. This living sentient being has never hurt us and this is how we treat them. Humans are not innocent. we are not as kind, caring or sweet as animals are. We do wrong regularly but we still want someone to treat us kindly, with love and respect. There is a connection between how we treat each other and how we treat animals. We put one type on a pedestal over the other and it is not right. I will forever be an animal rights activist because I believe that torture, rape, murder, abduction, and slavery is wrong regardless if the victim is black, white, pink, furry, short, tall, fat, skinny, young, old, human or non-human. I know what it feels like to be treated as less than. my people's entire history we have been treated as less than and I will not be in reason someone else is treated as less than. I would not dare to do to others what my people have faces and I ask that each and every one of us treat everyone with kindness, love, and respect even when they don't look like us.

What Being a Black, Vegan, American Means To Me

   I am a year old 18 born and raised African American. I am a sophomore at a university in Virginia and I am most definitely vegan. America is the land of the free and home of the home... at least that is what we are told. I see many brave men and women within America fighting for many different causes and in many different ways theoretically, they are "free" to do that. But what happens when people no longer feel free, what happens when people are scared of the very organizations that are supposed to protect us, what happens when people no longer just consider themselves as deserving of freedom?    Being black in America means being scared. It means never being free. Racism in America is something white people like to pretend does not exist unless it benefits them politically and many are racist and do not even know they are racist. If you are trying to figure out if you are racist, I am going to help you out. If you find yourself saying, thinking or doing any...
