Words like “peace” and “joy” trip so easily from our lips at this time of year. Yet, while we bask in the rosy fantasy of our celebrations, there are others who are paying the price for it in blood and despair. Behind the twinkling lights and hype, there are others for whom there is no peace, no joy, no magic—and there never was. Goodwill for man and cruelty for animals is not-so-merry.
Practicing Nonviolence in Our Actions
Practicing nonviolence starts with what we do, say, and buy. If we want to persuade people to be kind and empathize with the plight of others, the most logical place to start is by doing that ourselves. We all eat, but what—or whom—are we eating? Is there suffering, violence, and bloodshed inherent in our actions?
The Impact of Christmas on Animals
This special time of the year, families get together to share food, gifts, and happy times. It is supposed to be a festival of peace and joy, yet it has turned into a living hell for many animals—a season that causes mass cruelty. Christmas is a time of year when countless animals lose their lives for the festive season, not to mention the many others who suffer in factory farms.
Additionally, this is one of those times of the year when parents misguidedly buy their children small animals from pet stores. Too many dogs and cats end up getting dumped at shelters or in the streets where they cannot survive.
Embracing the True Spirit of Christmas
Christmas is a time of year when we celebrate the gift of life, our sense of oneness, and mutual respect. The season of goodwill toward each other should also mean recognizing our responsibility over all animals and treating them with respect.
Embracing a Vegan Lifestyle: Choosing vegan this Christmas isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about standing up for kindness, compassion, and a cruelty-free Christmas. By going vegan, we can protect animals, reduce our environmental impact, and embrace a more compassionate way of living. Make your festive feast vegan and celebrate the true spirit of Christmas: kindness, peace, respect, and love for all beings.
If you do end up getting an animal, please adopt; don’t shop. Instead of purchasing animals, you should consider adopting and being prepared for the responsibility and care that companion animals require.
A Time for Renewal and Transformation
So what would it do to your celebration if you knew that gathered round the tree and the table were the artifacts of intense and needless suffering and cruelty? You would avoid this if at all possible, wouldn’t you? You would not turn a blind eye.
It’s a time for renewal and transformation. Don’t turn villains to animals this Christmas. Turn vegan instead.

Humans get back what they give.
Killing and Eating animals is the forbidden fruit. The fruit of a womb.
If you kill to live, you will be killed for some more devolved being to live.
That is why the fallen angels of hell exist here on earth and drink the blood of human children, and eat their flesh.
Humans are cruel to animals the same way the illuminati fallen angels are cruel to them.
Until Humans stop killing and eating animals and learn to love animals they will continue to be the subjects of the cruelty and control of the devil’s who run this world.
