Description

Acharya Prashant explains that one does not need factual evidence or a visit to a dairy farm to understand the exploitation of animals, as it is a direct consequence of human greed and corruption. He argues that because humans are inherently exploitative in all aspects of life, including their relationships with family and themselves, it is inevitable that they will exploit animals for financial gain. This greed leads to practices like constant artificial insemination of female mammals to maximize milk production and choosing the most cost-effective, rather than merciful, methods of slaughter. He emphasizes that if showing mercy reduces productivity or costs time, it will be discarded in favor of profit. Since animals lack a voice to narrate their suffering, their exploitation continues as a reflection of the human inner self, which prioritizes money over compassion.
