as the saying goes...

a picture paints a thousand words and these powerful images by dana ellyn brilliantly portray the reality of the sentient beings hidden behind a language that strips them of their species, their uniqueness, their individuality, their lives, to become the victims of human food choices...

    A beautiful but provocative way to bring the issue to mind.

    I think it's a problem particularly in the English language that we call meat by names that hide the identity of the creature that has died to feed us.

    Those who continue to eat meat have a duty to understand the death that came before the meal. When they do that they are then faced with the decision about whether to continue to eat other living creatures.

    yes parlance... beautiful, provocative and poignant... language is a powerful tool - so much can be hidden behind terminology... and yes, to 'understand' then poses questions many don't want to deal with - hence cognitive dissonance becomes the way so many continue to justify their unjustifiable food choices...

    Great images. And they make words feel so damn inadequate! Thanks for featuring them.
