Selections from The World’s Advance Thought – a Periodical by Lucy A. Mallory (vegetarian), Part 2 of 2

We now share with you selections from the periodical – The World’s Advance Thought. “Of the three great evils in the world, flesh-eating, liquor-drinking and tabacco-using, the eating of flesh is the only one directly based upon cruelty and murder (the greatest crimes in the calendar); it is the only one of the three, above mentioned, that makes an inferno of the happy lives of innocent animals; that starves countless numbers of them in winter’s freezing weather; and brutally inflicts nameless tortures and torments upon them in transporting them to the slaughterhouses by sea and land in summer’s stifling heat. Now we wish to speak of the agonizing, torturing results to those, who disregarding these unspeakable happenings, eat the murdered flesh of these creatures, done most brutally to their death with all this long agony and fear upon them.” “There can be no excuse in this enlightened age for the flesh-eating habit to continue. The Truth that ‘sets free’ is now everywhere known, and it is the only thing that must be put in practice to wipe out forever the error that destroys – else the fearful price must be paid. If you have no regard for the harmony and happiness of lesser forms of life, there is no power in the Universe that has any regard for the harmony and happiness of your life. ‘As ye give, ye receive.’ And the hades, O Humanity, you have made of the lives of animals (equally the handiwork of God with your own) is returned to you with its increases, in diseases, disasters, war and their wholesale horrors, terrors and destruction.”
