“Let there be Light!” And then there
was Light.
“Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures and let birds
fly above the earth!”
“Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their
kinds!”
“Domestic animals, small animals and wild animals, each one
according to its own species!”
And thus it was done.
Made
by the Creator's Will, and destroyed by the man's desire. Could
there be anything more sordid, more torpid than a crime carried out
against a defenseless creature, as what presently happens to
animal?...
Whoever is offended by this
question, whoever is angry quickly puts up a jumbled refutation, it
just proves that this vileness has also already lodged itself into
his heart.
Contrary to the human being,
animals are always innocent in all circumstances. An animal
never suffers through its own guilt, by disrespecting any of the
laws of Creation, if ever it only suffers due to the man's
wickedness and the many unbalances he has provoked on the planet.
Homo sapiens have become a degenerate animal, they have proved this
over and over again; they are a species that did not quite come out
right, and because of this they will have to disappear now from its
habitat. This is what Mother Nature has determined against anything
that disturbs the harmony and does not abide by her laws.
It will have to disappear almost
in its entirety, so that the others species can continue to develop
in peace, without needing to fear anymore from this insane monster
that does not respect anything else except its own well being. A
“well-being” frequently enjoyed through the disrespect, torture and
death to animals.
Seal cubs are clubbed to death
in front of their helpless mothers, so that empty-headed females, of
this human species, can enjoy soft furs. Newborn chicks are thrown
alive into the fire, so that shrewd males of this species, may not
to suffer from the bitterness in a reduction of profits in the
chicken trade. And a bill that authorizes the sacrifice of animals
for personal cultural-religious ends has just appeared in Brazil, so
that an especially sordid kind of this species –
Homo politicus(*)
– could gain favor
from his voters, who are just as sordid as them. Oddly though, these
are the same cults that invoke and ask for protection from the
beings of nature...
A whole book could be written
just to describe the atrocities that the “human” being, who could
not be more coward, is already capable of practicing against animals
that were put on Earth in trust, to be cared for, kept and respected
by the dominant species. And an encyclopedia could be compiled just
to register the outrageous, the tremendous indignation that enrages
the few members of the human species that still love, with all their
heart, nature and its entities.
The truth is that sometimes, some
people still feel embarrassed, even a little awkward, on having to
admit to himself and others that they would prefer to look after and
take care of a pet, than to help or even adopt a homeless child.
Surprisingly, even though the latter is a human being.
There is no reason for
embarrassment. These good people intuitively feel immediate love and
dedication for the pet precisely because it is not a human being!
Animals are never deceptive in their actions. The loving look of a
pet towards its owner will always be legitimate. It never will hide
envy, disagreement and ill will, typical of individuals who have to
now harvest the rotten fruits that they have sowed in their useless
and harmful existence. Individuals that never felt any kind of love,
not even fondness for animals, but just contempt, that never
nurtured in their inner self any kind of desire to offer them, in
thankfulness, are unable to offer even a simple ode, that have only
hatred, an unjustified and uncalled for hatred, the size of their
own ignominiousness.
Neither do they know, nor do they
suspect that there are already many that are also no longer human
beings. They had lost the right to this denomination when their
souls, disfigured by greed, hatred and ingratitude, stopped having
any likeness with the beings that appeared, in ancient times, in the
Creator's image. They have descended well below the level occupied
by any animal of Earth that never killed for pleasure, nor ever
enjoyed themselves with the suffering of their fellow being, nor
ever confronted the Almighty.
It is not worth going on about
humanity's abominable age-old crime against the animals. Or of the
enormous rosary of guilt that it will have to answer for as it
stands before the Judge’s throne, specifically with respect to this
crime, it will not be able to rely on any leniency. Whoever carries
out, or even supports any act directed against animals, is already
spiritually lost. Seen from above, he no longer exists in Creation.
He will just continue to vegetate some more years still, here on
Earth, until he is swept out of the great masterpiece of Creation,
to the relief of all the other creatures, created by the same Will
of the same supreme God.
I would just like to cite a tiny
extract from the well-known letter that the Indian-chief, Seathl,
sent in 1855 to the then president of the United States, from the
paragraph in which he makes mention to the animals:
“I saw thousands of rotting
bison on the prairies, abandoned by the white man that slaughtered
them from a passing train. I am a savage, and do not understand how
a smoky iron horse can be more valuable than a bison that we, the
Indian, just kill as a subsistence. What is man without the animals?
If all the animals were dead, man would die from spiritual solitude,
because everything that happens to the animals can also affect man.
Everything is related to each other. All that hurts the earth also
hurts the sons of the earth. (…) The white man will also disappear,
perhaps more quickly than the others races. He continues polluting
his own bed, and he will die sleeping, suffocated in his own
excrement!”
Happily, the wise Indian-chief
did not live to verify that his prevision, already so bitter, would
not be just restricted to the white man, but, in the future, it
would also include all of humanity. He did not need to see how the
human being, capable in his own time of allowing bison to rot on the
prairies, would himself be rotting, in soul, during the final
judgment, heading toward his spiritual decomposition. He did not
have to watch how the human race would be marked for extinction, and
that it would not leave behind any good memory of itself, no
nostalgia from the other species would remain on Earth. He was saved
from all this.
