MEATLESS DAY! Written by Julius. , Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 4:00 PM, in Labels: message.

Tomorrow is International Vegetarian Day.

"To promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism. It brings awareness to the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle."
-Wikipedia.

Well, it is also know as SAK Meatless Day. (SAK=Stop All killing)

The philosophy underlying SAK has been preached by Sadhu T.L Vaswani and Dada J.P Vaswani.

Sadhu Vaswani said –
If indeed, life is one, is not the animal too, my brother? And am I not his keeper?
Meat eating will one day be condemned as murder!

Dada J.P Vaswani said –
Meat eating and world peace appear to be poles apart. Actually the two are interlinked. So long as animals and birds are slain to provide food for man, so long we will not see peace on the face of this Earth. If man kills an animal for food, he will not hesitate in killing a fellow man whom he considers as his enemy. The root cause of world wars is irreverence towards life.

The main objectives:

Asking people to sign pledges to go without meat on November 25th.
Saving animals from slaughterhouses
Requesting Hotels and caterers to refrain from serving meat on November 25th
Marching for Peace across the world in November 25th.

# We work towards the cause in the long term by –
Creating awareness about Animal Rights through newsletters, articles in the press and banners
Working to get the Government to pass rules and laws that protect animal rights
Approaching schools to educate children about the need for compassion towards animals, and the evils of meat eating.

So, I think it's pretty late to write this in here, but I still managed to ask my friends to be vegan for tomorrow. Well, it's certainly not for fun, but for the animals' right. You do aware we kill animals for our own good; so, tomorrow I hope those enthusiastic people will follow what we do! Become a vegetarian for just tomorrow!

I certainly will be, will you?
