'NZ Woolworths customer sent ‘cremated’ roast chicken through Milkrun'.

Cremated.
Well join the dots. It is a reality check if you eat them.

You pay for them to be born and killed in circumstances you probably don't look at, by machines or in the 'care' of unvetted people you haven't met to ensure they aren't psychopathically cruel.

Your part in the chain is probably so automated that you don't even stop to notice.
Industry keeps your thinking bottlenecked with constant adverts and imagery of lives as shrinkwrapped 'product' instead.

But they are lives you CAN value.
It is pain you CAN refuse to cause.
Only by luck did you land in your body, not theirs.
Break the chain.

A quotation from Horace

Be this your wall of brass — no secret sin,
To pale the cheek and rack the heart within!

nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa.]

Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas”, l. 60ff (1.1.60-61) (20 BC) [tr. Martin (1881)]
