Losing Paradise
.:Site Map:.
Despite ancient tenets of the world's great religions and modern ethical principles, we treat both domesticated and wild animals with almost unimaginable cruelty to “increase profits,” and for “sport” and “fashion.” Can we take our own ethics and religions seriously enough to stop a cycle which begins with cruelty to animals and ends with vilence against people?
Every day, the pressures of development, agriculture, and population growth lead to the destruction of natural habitat. Habitat destruction, in turn reduces populations of plants and animals, leading to extinctions in the worst cases, and to lowered efficiency among ecosystems. If, as many scientists believe, these systems are tightly interelated and interdependent, are we poisoning our own well?
The same practices supporting the cruel treatment of animals and the destruction of the environment are known to be the direct cause of diseases, formerly rare or unknown, which now kill thousands and cause suffering among millions. Can we survive without far-reaching changes in our “conventional practices?
