Our Blind Eye … ( 10 / 08 / 2013 )

We turned a blind eye to slavery … … until we woke UP to Justice .
We turned a blind eye to discrimination against women … … until we woke UP to Equality .
We turned a blind eye to bigoted hatred of those from different cultures , those following different faiths &/ or those having different sexual orientations … … until we woke UP to mutual Respect .
Now , we are still turning a blind eye to the millions of caring & conscious sentient beings that are imprisoned , abused and slaughtered every day – tortured & terminated merely to satisfy our lusts for pleasure & entertainment .
We claim to be an “ advanced intelligence ”, and yet we continue to behave as barbarians … We claim to love animals , and yet we look away from their suffering with a cowardice that is shocking and an apathy that is sickening .
It is time to wake UP once again , my Friends … … It is time we woke UP to Compassion .
