Suffering

Agriculture is done using pesticides and chemical fertilisers. The plants are tortured to yield. There is a suffering of the plants right from the stage of their germination to death. With so much suffering the final products are with the memory of pain.

The poultry birds lay eggs, there is so much suffering of the birds in the cages at the poultry farms. Many domestic animals are given drugs, antibiotics and growth hormones for getting more yield from them. The animals are not given space to walk and move, because every calorie given to an animal should not be wasted.

The meat from many domestic animals is an output that each animal has undergone suffering in its life span. This is the most unethical way of creating food and eating.

Even among the primitive hunters there are many rules - they never kill s pregnant animal, don’t hunt when an animal is drinking water or resting, don’t kill very young animals, don’t kill for recreation, never hoard animals for killing them later, and kill only when needed. They have lots of respect even for the animal that is killed, as it is a source for their existence.

People are drinking polluted water and breathing polluted air. See so many bad things and hear too much noise every day. With this kind of polluted environment inside and outside a person, no one could be happy and healthy. Ultimately the human soul is also suffering by all means.
