What do non-human animals think about a vegan diet?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Ever since I knew telepathic communication existed I have wondered, what do cows, chickens, pigs, fish and sheep think about humans eating them for their flesh or using their milk or eggs? I have started talking to them about this very subject, and have started writing a book. It’s a slow process, for me anyway. Listening via telepathy requires an open heart and a readiness for the truth. I have been working hard to make myself strong, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so I can go inside intensive farms and abattoirs and ask them questions like how do they feel, what do they think, what is their life like? I will share what they have to say in the coming months.

So at this time I can just share what one non-human animal thinks about a vegan diet, and that’s from Wayne (dog). Wayne and I were living in Fairlight, Sydney with a couple of flat mates. Wayne would eat vegan pet, a great dry food that uses only plant based, organic products and specially formulated to meet doggy nutritional needs, but needed it supplemented with softer foods as he often had sore gums. He was extremely fussy with his food. I personally would have liked him to eat and enjoy vegan food, I know it can be a healthy diet for dogs, and I know many dogs that are healthy and happy eating vegan food. And I really dislike contributing any money towards the meat industry; I don’t support the killing of any animal so I don’t feel it is appropriate for me to support these industries financially.

So I was in a dilemma, I knew Wayne wanted to eat meat, he had told me this and he was under my care and relied on me for food. So I decided to support this. He was 13 years old, and had a tough life in the past. I would buy organic meat and sometimes kangaroo (as at least it was not intensively farmed) and cook it for him. One day I was in the kitchen cutting up some kangaroo sausages on the bench. All of a sudden, I felt a clear question from him in my heart? “How do you feel doing that?” I turned around and looked at Wayne and promptly burst into tears and said “I hate it”. He then replied “I will eat vegan food now”. I seriously thought I was going crazy. You have no idea how determined he had been at wanting to eat meat. He said “I understand the difference now. A tomato wants to be eaten, a sausage does not. But also see the importance of me coming to this conclusion for myself”. I was stunned and must say thrilled. From then on he would eat vegan sausages, and other mock meats that are readily available in the supermarket, health food stores and Asian supermarkets. He had his favorites, like vegan hot dogs with tomato sauce, and others that he was not really into.

I might add that at my mum’s he happily continued to any meat that she offered. Funnily enough, any day that she went to Bingo and Wayne at the same time was visiting, she always seemed to win a meat tray. Wayne got most of it as mum does not eat much meat. Now he is staying with my mum and her lovely neighbours Mark and Lindsey, whilst I live in France. I know that vegan food is not at the top of his agenda at the moment. I would rather Wayne eat plant based food, for health reasons as well as ethical. But at the end of the day I know it’s his life and his choice.

I also knew it was important what he had said about coming to this conclusion by himself. It really hit home, that each of us must make this choice ourselves, each of us determines our own ethical values, what is right, what is wrong.
I decided at this point that my personal choice is to never support the suffering of animals in the best way I know how. And that’s not to buy food that comes from animals, products tested on animals or clothing made from animals. I also won’t visit zoos, circuses or rodeos, unless its for investigative purposes.

And that means not purchasing any of these things for others as well as myself. At the same time, how others spend their money is their business. Sometimes it’s been challenging, I love buying a meal for others but feel uncomfortable to say I will only buy plant based food when I know that may not be there preference. Choosing to buy meals individually has been an amicable solution.

In a few weeks I will be back in Australia, I hope Wayne will enjoy living with me and eating vegan hotdogs again 

Sheep as herbalists

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

About three months ago I was staying at my friend’s apartment in Hasparren in the South West of France. I enjoy walking around this quaint little village in the countryside. There is a lovely forest walk alongside a small creek with a waterfall, and most of all I loved the fact that it enabled me to get to know some sheep better, whom live just down the road from her place. After spending some time with them I felt that sheep are generally more talented herbalists than most humans who specialize in this career, there knowledge is quite incredible.

So some days ago I went to chat to them more extensively about this. I sat in the paddock a fair distance away from them; I am becoming more and more aware of being very respectful when visiting other non human animals in their home environment. Usually there contact with humans can be quite stressful in various ways and so obviously they can be weary of humans. Even the kindest farmers may be expecting things from them; movement when they do not feel well, a visit from a vet, or many other examples which can disturb their day to day life. I sat for a while consciously relaxing. Listening to the birds, watching butterflies, having a look at what plants were growing in the paddock and watching the sheep from a distance. I was sitting on the ground, and then had the feeling to put my hands flat on the ground, palms facing down. I took off my shoes so my bare feet were touching the ground as well. I started exploring what it was like to have all “four feet” touching the ground as such. It was a nice feeling.

All the sheep were in a group eating, and did not seem to want to be disturbed. I had been sitting there for about an hour and decided it was time to start chatting with them. At that same moment, the sheep dispersed in various directions from the group they had been standing in, some walked away and formed smaller groups. It was like their group meeting was over and they were ready for something else. So I asked if I could speak to a representative who was knowledgeable about plants, and I sensed who it was as she casually walked from one group to another. I asked about how their knowledge of plants works, and how much detail they know about what healing it is doing in their body, how they choose which plants to eat, and how they experience the effects of the plant etc.

So my answer came in an incredible way. With my feet and hands touching the ground, I experienced how connected to the earth sheep feel, about how we as humans standing up and using our hands for other purposes gives us a different experience of living on the earth. Then I became aware of how the earth was assessing my needs and at the same time my body was sending signals into the earth about my systems and what it currently requires. I sensed that the sheep felt some sort of magnetic feel, and it was like a thin stream of light coming up through a blade of grass that guided them to eat it. This happens on a natural instinctual level, for example there is no thought process happening saying first eat this piece of grass, then another etc. It is happening very fast and it is like they are being guided by a magnet.

So I was taken through the experience by experiencing a rush of energy coming up through my feet, and I felt incredibly grounded. I was guided to a piece of grass/leaf (not sure what it is called but just knew it was edible) and ate it. I sensed my small intestine and gall bladder were out of balance in some way and eating this leaf would help. So the sheep was just guiding me to experience what level of detail they could understand about what balance is happening in their body if they wish.

I was really grateful for the way my question to the sheep was answered, I like to feel and experience something for myself, that’s the way I like to receive information telepathically and it enables me to be able to translate the experience into verbal language. I am so thankful to my sheepy friends and found the experience incredible.
