(Why do I feel like I have published this one already, or did I read it many times in draft itself? )
This is about euthanasia, killing animals and importance of life and all...
How valuable is life?
Ah again same topic but I m back to it..
we as humans seem to think life is very important,We try to save lives of children with holes in their hearts, we try to save old people, very sick people by putting them on life support, lot of people don't eat meat because killing animals is wrong,
I am wondering is it really wrong?
Like I have said before death and killing ( especially young ones) is part of life, it is part of evolution, it is part of life cycle, it is integral part of life on earth.
Everyone reproduces in plenty and only part of it is meant to survive
Its either kill or neuter - we know from street dogs dont we?
I felt this strongly when I did gardening
I love tulsi plant, but it has 10000 seeds and 1000s of seedlings.. how many can u grow. answer is - u cant, u have to uproot and throw ( or make kashaya :)
There is no way earth can support all those that are born, most are meant to die. most infants are meant to die. This is what leads to evolution and forming of different species. More diversity, more chance that life on earth will make it thru catastrophes.
This is infant mortality, another is reproduce and die.
Annual plants - their life cycle is - born in spring, flower in summer, seeds in autumn and die. That's it. They cant be made to live longer than that. Thats their life cycle, for a long time I resisted growing such plants. Its a waste :D That was the mental block, Flowering plants from super markets are more like a bouquet rahter than a plant. I like to see plants live rather than just see them flower and die. I hated such plants , BTW all our grains are also such plants, wheat, rice, sugar cane... whatever plants we harvest are all, grow - flower - seed - die plants. What is the value of such a life?
Its not just plants, there are animals too
There is a moth the caterpillar has a mouth but the adult moth does not have a mouth at all. It is not meant to eat at all, its meant to die in 7 days ( feels like a fairy tale story :D ) Its suppose to find its princess/prince and reproduce,lay eggs and die. if it doesn't succeed it dies anyway.
so what is the value of life for these things?
Salmons - they go to reproduce and die, so reproduction is more important than living. most /all animals live to reproduce not the other way around.
So it is probably a bigger crime to neuter an animal than to kill it?
If we are melding and helping with the reproduction of an animal, then can we kill it?
I mean it is the strategy of sheep and chicken that they are tasty, thats why there are so many of them, they are spreading fast while their wild counter parts are getting extinct.
is that really wrong? Species wise its a good thing for them tho indivisual vise its bad for them.
This post was written long ago( 15/12/2012 ), Now I heard is this symbiosis between Water birds and alligators. Scientists found that alligators who stayed near Water bird nests were doing better than others, even tho they couldn't reach the nest and hence couldn't eat the birds. They also found that the birds who had alligators near their nests were doing better than birds that didn't! The alligators prevented other predators like raccoons getting into the nests and eating all the chicks. How were the alligators benefiting? The alligators were eating the eggs and chicks that dropped off from the nest. They also found that the birds pushed off eggs and chicks from the nest purposefully to attract the alligators!?! Sometimes the birds produced more eggs than they could care for and they pushed these away to pay for protection. Fascinating!
Human values, human rights and wrongs,morals , so subjective, so NOT universal!
BTW this is the post which is similar to this one... same thoughts http://mystic-babe.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/saving-lives-at-all-costs.html
