krjsantos Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I feel all shooken up after seeing those tweets. I love animals with all of my heart (being a vegan) and it pains me to know that they are being abused for mankind's needs. Food, clothes, cosmetics. If you've (dared) to see the movie 'Earthlings' you'll know what I mean. I don't go around lecturing people though because we're all free to make our own choices in life and nobody has the right to tell us what to do and nobody's perfect. And maybe Mika realized how disgusting it was since he saw Mel next to the photo and hopefully he will understand that all animals have feelings (no matter what anyone says). Meat in stores gives me similar reactions as the photo he posted though, although it made me think of how I stopped eating animals in the first place: I was next visiting my family in Iran when I was twelve years old, petted a goat and the minute they chopped his head off right in front of my eyes... what a horror thing, poor child in this time I think it should be shocking that sense, but depending on the culture of some countries, people, this is understandable.

LaraMay Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) what a horror thing, poor child in this time I think it should be shocking that sense, but depending on the culture of some countries, people, this is understandable. Yeah and during some weddings in Iran, they butcher an animal while it's still alive, as tradition. But persian people I've talked to here in Sweden think that's disgusting and are ashamed of their treatment of animals in Iran. I once saw a video of a wedding where this happened and the blood poured on the ground next to the bride and the groom, leaving blood splatter on the bottom of her white wedding dress. I was like WTF?? The bizarre thing was that before that they were kissing birds and holding them. Edited May 6, 2013 by LaraMay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really bizarre, is seen as a cultural asset and is part of the human race to kill animals for survival since the world began, we are part of this cycle of life, among animals is no different and sometimes more violent, isn't it?! We can think about reducing meat consumption, become a vegetarian, think about how the kind killing can be more merciful to the animal, but that's all, maybe we will walk to a feeding without sacrifice, one day, who knows By now which is very difficult for many reasons, not myself I can not only eat vegetables.

Alie Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 what a horror thing, poor child in this time I think it should be shocking that sense, but depending on the culture of some countries, people, this is understandable. I agree with that. Some people will be shocked and others will be ok. I saw the pictures, I love animals but it doesn't shock me. I have two dogs, a horse and I'm studying to be a veterinary technician (a "nurse" for animals) so I'm sincere when I say I love them. The lamb is dead and yes they'll eat it. It's meat and people are eating meat alllll over the world. A lot of my friends would probably shocked too so I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was difficult for me too, I was obsessed with eating meat lol maybe it's in my middle eastern blood I don't know, but I think my parents fed me too much meat so I finally had enough But there are loads of food alternatives out there, very healthy and full of protein too, besides just vegetables. So I think when people tell me: 'What do you eat then: Carrots?' I find it narrow minded since there is so much delicious meat alternatives for me to eat. But I completely understand that it's difficult to stop eating meat alltogether, it was for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My admiration for animal care they need, this week I heard a sad news, the black rhinos went extinct, it is sad to think of any kind of extinction.

I see a side benefit for the photo and discussion about eating meat, and I think there is pretty interesting alternative, healthy, how we can think differently our food, our body suffers in many ways, morbid obesity, bowel problems, often related to an unhealthy diet, but in other way also the products obtained for proper nutrition are absurdly expensive at least in my country, but that's a very topic longer. Good to know that you could get a healthy diet and I hope to reach that level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Welcomes Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 From his Twitter it feels like this time Mika`s pleased with fans meeting him at the airport)) It`s not always annoying. Just a bunch of devoted Japanese fans, polite and nice. Aren`t they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I make no judgements about whether Mika is annoyed by being greeted at the airport since I'm not Mika. If I recall the discussion was about whether one feels comfortable doing that or not. Grown women in Canada do not go to airports to greet popstars. Not unless they want their friends and family and everyone at the airport to think they have mental problems. So unless Mika sends me an invitation I will not be greeting him at the airport. But what other fans do in other countries is none of my concern. I think Mika especially welcomes Japanese treats in any case. At the airport, at his hotel, at the gig. Anywhere is fine if you've got cool Japanese shizz to give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
