Animals & Sex

 

Animals & Sex

 

The Kastom people of Vanuatu

Most famously known for worshipping Prince Philip as a deity

Are trivialized as a curiosity

I saw a documentary about them

When they were invited to travel to Britain

What most struck them, as swineherds, was the size of the UK pigs

They were very impressed

 

Until they found out that it’s artificial insemination that gives the size and weight to modern agricultural animals

 

This deeply upset them

 

& they became insistent that the practice must stop

That the pig, like all animals, must be allowed sexual gratification as a birthright for living beings

 

I wholeheartedly agree

& it amazes me that we don’t talk about it

(I’m not advocating for the end of eating meat

Eating involves taking life, whether animal or vegetable

So what you eat is your business)

 

But modern agricultural companies should respect the animals that produce their astronomical profits

& this extends to allowing for sexual gratification

Animals are sacred

& if they are bred to be killed

The very least we can do

Is allow their biological needs to be met

One of which is sex

 

The cycle of life should proceed organically

It is a mater of material & spiritual significance.
