Podcast: Honor And Prayer
Print This Post
Compassionate Cooks’ new podcast is about giving thanks and prayer:
“With a penchant for romanticizing their consumption of animals, many people declare that they ‘pray over meat’ or ‘weep over the animals who sacrifice themselves for us – just like the Native Americans.’ Not only does this attempt to assuage our discomfort make no difference to the animals we kill (for naught), I wonder: who’s praying for the animals who are still alive? Who’s weeping for those who need our help? And if it’s so compassionate to pray over an animal while we slit her throat, isn’t it even MORE compassionate to pray over an animal and NOT slit her throat? Join me as I explore what’s really underneath this third-rail issue and as I suggest that it is not only insulting to the animals but to the Native Americans themselves.”

It’s a learning process – but it’s so simple once you do:
