Text: Every day we hear of life and death decisions made by our species which effect the lives of billions of other animals. 
How arrogant and misguided we 
human animals are  
that we not only believe that we 
own this planet 
but we own every other animal
who lives and breathes. 
We have created a terrible imbalance 
in the natural world 
and sadly nonhumans pay for our 
greed each day.

The truth is our species 
is the "pest" on this planet
and the sooner we realise this fact, 
the faster we can try to reverse this ever 
increasing disaster which is unfolding. 
We are now in overshoot and 
collapse as a species.  
We have become the nightmare 
and the executioner of billions 
of other animals
We have the arrogance to kill 
other animals when we find them 
"inconvenient" 
or we torture and kill them 
for profit and pleasure. 
The truth we deny is that using
nonhumans is morally unjustifiable 

Sadly we are killing many nonhumans
either directly or indirectly  
with our destructive and violent 
pathology.
If we truly want peace ---which 
sometimes one could seriously doubt ---
we need to stop using nonhuman
 animals for our pleasure

If we want peace,
we need to create a vision of 
how we can co-exist peacefully;
we need to cease using non-human 
sentient beings as property.
Many of our fundamental problems
could be addressed 
if we took one fundamental 
step to peace 
and that step is to go vegan 
and end the last great slavery.

Furthermore, we need to keep 
our own breeding in check
and stop breeding as if the planet 
has infinite space and infinite resources.
Our path to peace will commence
when we wake from our
speciesist supremacist delusion
and realise we are all interconnected
and realise we do not
own the planet 
or any other species who dwells on it.

Speciesism is learned.
Time to unlearn it. 

The Earth was recently speaking 
with a similar planet in another galaxy. 
The other planet said, "How are 
you doing?" 
Earth said, "I'm doing okay, except 
I have a very bad case of 
Homo sapiens." 
The other planet said, 
"Oh, I had that about 200 million 
years ago. 
 Don't worry, it'll pass quickly."
