The little girl had never seen any factory farms (Video 1). So the whole thing came to her as a big surprise. It was really shocking to her.
Video 1. Battery hens.
After seen the thousands of hens enclosed in batteries, her mind went on an endlesss spin. Many questions came to her mind.
The first question she asked to her father was:
Dad, what is the difference between keeping chickens in such small cages one on top of the other and keeping people in slavery?
Tough question.
It would be easier to explain to children this matter if we did not do what we do to animals in farms and slaughterhouses.
But the fact is that humans not only exploit and kill animals but they also do the same thing to their own species.
People enslave people and many enslaved people disappear forevever without a trace as to their whereabouts. There is no trace because many of these enslaved humans were thrown into the organ harvesting ring.
It is not an easy task for a parent having to explain and answer any inquisitive child´s questions on tough issues that adult human beings having even been able to solved yet on a global scale.
How do you tell your child that many of these modern slaves are killed like pigs in a slaughterhouse in order to extract the organs from them for the black market?
Since they are hard questions to deal with, it is best to approach them from the opposite direction: At home.
Thus, it is easier for children to learn to do what parents do than what they tell them to do at home.
So if you are a parent, you´d better watch out what you do in front of your child. Make sure it is good. Your child is the fruit on your own society.
We already have too many rotten apples in the bin. Make sure that your child is not one of them.

Everybody is born rich. Rich with life, for life is a treasure. Rich in means, for Earth belongs to all of its creatures.
But not everybody ends up rich in means along his life. Many factors come into play in the unfolding of each creature´s destiny including man.
In modern human societies, some people work hard throughout their lives (Fig. 1) but they only get enough bread to keep themselves and their families alive, besides accumulating piles of debts.
Others work hard and get plenty or too much but this overabundance becomes never enough (Fig. 2). They feel it is never enough to keep the bubble around them from bursting, if seen from their greedy and empty-hearted perspective.
Quite a few people know how to play and juggle with the whims and weaknesses of the masses of people. These rascals become rich sucking up other folks´ juice (Fig. 3).
But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these people charmers get more than enough to lead a wasteful life by sucking the juice out of the pocket of those ambitious folks who wish to strike it rich.
It
has been said by pop "psychologists", sneaky "religious" ministers, swindlers, conmen and mass tricksters that you have got to think and imagine yourself having a lot of wealth in order to to be rich.
There are
millions of people dreaming of having wealth without having any luck. They end up only
with dreams in their hands.
At
the same time, it has also been said that in order to have you have got to make a
contract with satan or any of his adepts. And there is plenty of
evidence for that, according to some experts.
But someone once said that although satan´s waters are sweet to the flesh, they also prove bitter to the soul. Few rich are ever truly happy.
Amongst the ones who have bathed in satan´s river, there are many who are extremely rich. They can have their apparently clean hands and well manicured fingers on top of the table but their feet are deeply buried in the shit underneath.
They smile at the public to hide a dirty burning heart.
Some people have had an obscure helping hand coupled with hundreds of phantom firms connected to the mafia´s dirty sacs in order to have more than what they need to have.
They tend to become a "necessary appendage for functioning of the surface economy", an expert says
The world is plagued with this kind of selfish bastards. Whether you have or not, i.e., wealth, when you have huge amounts of money, it is a fact that you cannot eat more than your own stomach´s fill, sleep on more than one bed, inhabit more than one house, drive more than one car, parade on a boat or fly a private airplane at a time. And yet, people strive to reach this dragon´s treasure.
With few exceptions, most "lucky" filthy rich enjoy basking in the limelight under the eyes of the masses of suckers whose life force has been sucked to achieve their accumualted capital.
Anyway, they are many ways people use to make lots of money.
They all lead to the same principle with no principle: Sucking people´s or Mother Nature´s juice to the last drop on a massive scale.
The end result of this ego trip is a damaged Biosphere (Video 1).
Video 1. Polluted Earth.
All in all, each person´s life is a personal drama.
Whatever the drama might be, in the end, it is also a fact, that everybody, on the way to his own pit in the ground, leaves this world empty-handed. The saddest part of this people´s get-more game is that those that strike the sweaty and dirty sac of gold and become extremely rich usually forget that what they have has been taken out of the plate of everybody´s part on this planet. "Too bad. Life is not fair. It is a matter of survival of the fittest", they often say.
How could they forget their brethren? Because their are fucking selfish!
And along this road, too many people, directly or indirectly, are literally left with nothing on their plates around the world.
These are the world´s forgotten people. They are the poor that nobody wants. They are the human dried prunes whose life juice has been squeezed off by naughty vampires or unfair urban policies.
Until perhaps one day, an ambitious entrepreneur comes along and wants to add some water to them to make them juicy again and turn them into a mass of new consumers.
Kenya´s Mathare slums are a good example of people with very little on their plates (Video 2).

Make a difference
On this matters, you do not need travel too far. Your own neighbour, human or nonhuman, might be in need of a helping hand right now.
Have you seen them? Go ahead and make their day!
We only pass once through this Valley of Tears. Make yours mark a difference upon anyone who is caught in the claws of our abundant indifference.
