Tylenol Infant Constipation

These strange beings called Animal

Julio Ortega Fraile
About the contradictions in our perception of others' pain to the situation, the species and upbringing. And as economic interests when virtue or perversion
Julio Ortega Fraile

If it seems strange that no one stopped to help me in a traffic accident, assuming you have not yet reached by emergency services, why do some crazy if I qualify for the shoulder to pick a dog that just being struck to take him to a vet, and to warn me, as a council, which will leave the seat remains of hair and blood?. Do any of these would be worried about stains on your upholstery if they came from the bleeding of a man who has opened his head against the windshield of your car?, And say more, would you feel if your own dog was hurt? .

Very few, if any, will criticize you speak out against climate change, pollution of the atmosphere and seas, or deforestation of forests. But the same is enough that you do not understand protesting against bullfighting, the experimentation No animal or fur industry. Why is it seen a case and you are a being committed and supportive while at the other, you are considered an unhappy or a dreamer, if not a troublemaker? .

And let alone the issue of food. Everyone understands, in our culture, you do not snack a sandwich stuffed with the innards of a German shepherd, you do not dine loin steak setter Irish or not served at the table a source with a Siamese cat and chopped garlic. But if you do not want to do just that when the victim is a pig, beef or chicken, then you're the weirdo and that insists on going against the tradition, culture and even the basic nutritional standards.

is so peculiar are the values \u200b\u200bthat we abide in this Society. A dog can not cook and eat, but there is no objection to let dying on the pavement, or no problem in practice with him vivisection. A cat is not in our diet, not for health reasons, but because we are appalled that you enter alive into a pot with boiling water as they do in other cultures, but many drivers nor shun or extreme caution when they see them around for a road because they know that in any case, will lose the animal. And the cow or sheep, however, they can have all your miserable life locked in a tiny space, getting fat to the end, dismember and eat them.

Ultimately that avoid or not an animal suffering does not depend only of its kind, but also the origin of suffering, and the consequence is that the pain of a single individual may horrify, or even be indifferent results of agree that it causes, all in terms of why and how will come provoked. Can anyone give me a coherent explanation and with a minimum of ethics for this kind of moral aberration?.

And as for having to be continually justifying the reasons pleading against any mistreatment of animals, not before which they were inflicted, that such discussion, if possible, will in other directions, but with our relatives, friends and family, is it really so difficult to understand that embrace this philosophy to reject any form of violence, exploitation or assault of other beings free?. To me, it seems inconceivable to me to defend the exact opposite.

I do not despair because the child being the target of the anger or insults of bullfighting, hunting, vivisectors, industrial farmers or owners of circuses with animals also amazes me the indifference of politicians, many media or broad sectors of society, but what really hurts and I can not understand is why many times I see my own criticism, misunderstanding and even looks that seem to hide sorry for my "whims" animals and I have become an advocate " lost causes. " Those

, close or not, they feel that I am the wrong one, the kooks or the rebel without cause maybe they can explain what they think of a Chinese hanging by the neck of a live dog and opens a hook in the channel, or to see them eating the brains of a monkey whose heart still beats, even when viewed as in Tanzania torture and kill albinos to perform magic rituals with them, or female circumcision in Sierra Leone.

Perhaps, what the Chinese cook or think of them Somali healer to see his disgust, horror and their rejection of such customs, is very similar to what they think of me. And ultimately, whether man, woman, dog, pig or monkey, there's something different nationalities can not change and is common in all including: anxiety and suffering of the victims when they are subjected to terrible suffering or murdered. And there is one aspect that should not depend on educational issues, cultures or criminal codes: the obligation to express our absolute condemnation for the violence on other creatures is part of human behavior, whatever the excuse for the latter, the kind of martyrdom or the corner of the planet where it occurs.

imagine there is a very powerful reason to explain why this paradox in our values: economic interests. The industries in our society have found a market for your items, are charged with continuously lubricated appropriate mechanisms for us to look not only lawful but necessary to continue consuming products one way or another, involving distress to animals. Thus, taking into account that in other cultures, employers do the same as the habits of their customers, we must conclude that the difference between good and evil lies in the fact itself, but our perception of it based on what we have been presented as virtuous or vicious. In any case, a very poor justification and can only serve those who do not have the slightest interest in thinking about the consequences of their actions. Julio Ortega Fraile
