"I refuse to eat animals because I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings and by the death of other creatures.

I refuse to do so, because I suffered so painfully myself that I can feel the pains of others by recalling my own sufferings.

I feel happy, nobody persecutes me; why should I persecute other beings or cause them to be persecuted?

I feel happy, I am no prisoner, I am free; why should I cause other creatures to be made prisoners and thrown into jail?

I feel happy, nobody harms me; why should I harm other creatures or have them harmed?
 
I feel happy, nobody wounds me; nobody kills me; why should I wound or kill other creatures or cause them to be wounded or killed for my pleasure and convenience?
 
Is it not only too natural that I do not inflict on other creatures the same thing which, I hope and fear, will never be inflicted on me? Would it not be most unfair to do such things for no other purpose than for enjoying a trifling physical pleasure at the expense of others' sufferings, others' deaths? These creatures are smaller and more helpless than I am, but can you imagine a reasonable man of noble feelings who would like to base on such a difference a claim or right to abuse the weakness and the smallness of others? Don't you think that it is just the bigger, the stronger, the superior's duty to protect the weaker creatures instead of persecuting them, instead of killing them? "Noblesse oblige." I want to act in a noble way." (Edgar Kupfer Koberwitz)

... sorry for being late with answers, but usually we use IE, and from some time DA doesn't work "with it". We write answers, and thanks, but all we write ....vanish somewhere. So we use Firefox to open DA. It is ....confusing. Hope it will change in future.

Marilyn, thank You a lot for being such a wonderful Friend. :)
During the 3 years here, we "met" many people.
Some of them became our precious Freinds.
Thank You all for the support and all kindness.:):sun:
