My love Julius
Had to show you why he makes me smile. My Dalmatian Julius at the park with his big brother Bert who has little time left with us but seems happy.........
Often Ive asked myself questions about the consciousness of animals. Descartes the famous seventeenth century philosopher believed they were mere automata, machines, and that they didnt feel pain. Some of the pro "meat for food" lobbyists use this in their argument. Bertie doesnt know he's dying from old age and doesnt pity himself as a result. To that end I believe he's happy but uncomfortable without wondering why?
One of my colleagues argues that in the bible mention is made of a right to slaughter animals for food?
