In my last post I set many goals. And words mean nothing. But, sure enough I stuck to them! ALLL ABOUT THE ACTIONSSSS. I have not eaten any meat, seafood, or poultry through my quarantine. I will continue to do so for as long as I can. I already did not red meat nor seafood. The biggest thing was chicken (boneless only). But I have made the change. It makes me feel better that I am not partaking in the deaths of animals anymore. I do believe that God has put resources for humans to eat on the planet already. These resources hurt no one and provide the same beneficial vitamins and diet needs; as meat would. We are no longer living off survival that we need to hunt. I have posted my views on how to eat meat on Facebook. I believe that meat should be eaten as the first thing on the plate. An animal died in order to provide that meal. People always dump their meat because they have filled up on their sides. But that animals’ life was lost for you to dump pieces of its body?! All for some measly corn?! Corn has no feelings and did not have to die. I have been so moving, that my best friend has started to eat in this order because she had never thought about it that way. I decided that if I cant sway people 100% that I should meet them in the middle. That compromise allows for at least conscious/responsible eating. I have been very vocal on my social media. I have shared memes and articles regarding how animals are being kept in captivity and that we should now be moved to empathize with them because now were also being held in captivity. I have also watched another documentary, “Don’t F**k With Cats”, that highlights a goose hunt for a man who had a fascination with killing small animals live. It triggered my anxiety and depression more BUT it gave me hope that there are people in the world that truly hold the same views as me. I saw a post that said that for the first time, one animal shelter had all its animals adopted. That truly made me happy that these animals are being loved and in homes (THEY BETTER BE!). When it comes to scraps of food, I stood true to my word. I make sure to collect all the fruit peels and excess fruit to throw in the yard. I scatter it about. I am hopeful that some small animals could make use of it or the Earth. I even cut up the plastic water bottle packaging, any 6-ring plastic casing, and any bags of clementine. I do not know where my trash may end up and I do not want to be the reason any animal chokes, suffocates, and/or dies. I am doing my part to ensure that I am taking care of the Earth even when I am not around. Lastly, I am focused on me. I wish everyone was operating or thinking in this manor but unfortunately it is not. But I am focusing on what I can do. I am making sure I am doing my part and worrying about what I am in control of.
