0028 Root For The Vegetable Rights Movement!

It’s the inevitable march, the golden-hearted chain, of Ultimate Compassion: yesterday, a group of anglers, danglers in the river for hours on end of peaceful anticipation punctuated by a rare bite from a fish, which then the most sporting unhook and throw back to freedom rather than yet another fish supper were set upon by a group of 35 ‘protesters’… you do the math, how many man-hours to save one fish? With the courage of their convictions, the trawler fleet should be their next sea-green seasick target… and on a smaller scale, obviously the shore of the Sea of Galilee is a high-profile target (assuming that it’s not in the fighting zone at the time…) And there’s more to come – the Vegetable Rights movement which so far has kept underground (…) has a huge task ahead, as it gains ground so to speak: those poor baby peas, mown down at dewy-fingered dawn like army deserters in the First World War, are the obvious target for our grief; then the vast plains of America slaughtering wheat for our daily bread (and here again, the Sea of Galilee comes to mind – do miracles have rights too?) these great plains must come under fundamental survey… and as the Compassion Movement gathers pace, there’s all those mosquitoes in Africa and elsewhere so cruelly deprived of their right to sting like cornered terrorists, and don’t viruses have their rights too? Then comes a difficult moral decision – what of animals that kill other animals? Whose side are we on there? Which has the greater rights to life and freedom? Brothers and sisters, bleeding hearts, there’s much work to be done… let's hope that war doesn't interfere with our compassionate fight for rights..
