Subject: Oink My Comrades Author: Krames [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:19:57 06/13/03 Fri 'Now, Comrades, What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it, our lives are miserable, laborious and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plane truth. But is this simply part of the order of Nature? Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it can not afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it? No, comrades, a thousand times no! The soil of England is fertile it's climate is good, it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously great number of animals than now inhabit it. This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep - and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining. Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word - Man. Man is the only real enemy we have remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished forever. 'And remember, comrades, your resolution must never faulter. no argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the other. It is all lies. Man serves the interest of no preacher except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.
