III. WHY ARE MEAT-EATERS MORE PRONE TO CHRONICAL DISEASES AND
EARLIER DEATH THAN VEGETARIANS?
The human body is
built up of tiny units of cells, and the functions of these cells
are:-
But when the above
series of activity is impeached, malfunction ensues and this causes
the cells to deteriorate. Naturally, the organs which they make up,
become affected too.
Comparative studies
carried out by scientists prove that the EFFECT of Chronical
Diseases are CAUSED by Excess Meat Eating. Animals such as the
cows, sheep, goats, pigs and fowls inhabit well-developed nervous
systems similar to human being. It is therefore not surprising too,
that these animal and fowls encounter pain to the same degree as
man does. In cases where they are abused or injured, every effort
to avoid pain through signs of intensified terror, wincing, wailing
and howling are uncontrollably released.
The following
description on the execution of domesticated pigs (or hogs) is
extracted from a true-life experienced book written many years ago
by Upton Sinclair who grew up on a farm and was familiar with the
killing of animals since childhood.
"At the same instant the ear was assailed by a most terrifying
shriek ... followed by another, louder and yet more agonizing - for
once started upon that journey, the hog never came back. Meantime,
heedless of all these things, the men upon the floor were going
about their work. Neither squeals of hogs nor tears of visitors
made any difference to them; and one by one they hooked up the
hogs, and one by one with a swift stroke they slit their throats.
There was a line of hogs, with squeals and life-blood ebbing away
together; until at last each started again, and vanished with a
splash a huge vat of boiling water."
The account of the
above process is about the stockyards of Chicago described in the
book "The Jungle"
In 1975, seventeen
years after the Federal Humane Slaughter Act of 1958, which was
aimed to abolish unnecessarily methods of cruel slaughtering, a
minister who witnessed a flock of sheep being led up a runway into
a slaughterhouse wrote:
"The smell, the cries of agony, and the noise of the killing
going on inside were revolting ... Calves were butchered in full
sight of their mothers. I watched the driving of animals to the
killing floor, where they sense their fate and go mad with
fear."
Thence, during the
agony of being slaughtered, the terrified animals undergo profound
changes. First of all, secretion of toxins generated by rage and
fear at the time of slaughter, are forced into the blood stream.
Through circulation of blood, this poisonous substances are
pervaded to various muscles of their bodies. Slaughter not only
terminates the normal cleansing functions of the body but also
leaves the animals saturated with their own waste substances.
A further-brief
information to meat-eaters is obtainable from the Encyclopaedia
Britannica:
"Toxin wastes, including uric acid are present in the blood and
tissue, as also are dead and virulent bacteria, not only from the
putrefactory process, but from animal diseases, such as hoof and
mouth disease, contagious abortion, swine fever, malignant tumours,
etc ..."
Slaughter also sparks
off the rapid process of decomposition, whereby intense cooking
does not necessarily change the chemistry of meat products because
meat is the most putrescible of all foods, pork being the worst of
all. Even with the condition of the best digestive system, an
estimation of 7 per cent of meat still decay while going through
the human bowel tract. The sole reason is, whether meat or its
juice, both equally favours growth of disease - causing bacteria
that afflicts animals and humans.
