A pig farmer has decided to treat his pigs as his own children and to take care of them until they depart at old age. He even convinced his family to quit eating meat with him and thus became vegetarians. What could be the reason behind such drastic change in this household?

In Linkou Township, Taipei County, Formosa, Mr. Luo and his family used to make a living by raising pigs. In May this year, Mr. Luo had a chitchat with his neighbor, Mr. Lin, who is a retired teacher, on the subject of global warming. Mr. Lin earnestly explained to him that the main cause of global warming is the livestock industry. He further suggested to Mr. Luo to watch Supreme Master Television to find out more about the critical situation of global warming and its solutions.

After watching Supreme Master Television for several months, Mr. Luo shared his insights with our Association members. He said that Supreme Master Television has become his everyday, must-watch TV channel for which he is very grateful for helping him to change his life. Now he looks at the pigs being raised by his family very differently; he treats them as his own children or pets, because they are all living sentient beings.

Mr. Luo told our members in detail about how he and his family quit eating meat and became vegetarians. He began with gathering relevant information on the Internet and then explained to his family the causes of global warming. Later, his mother also went on the Internet with him looking for more information, and became very interested in the issue of global warming. A week later, he proposed to his family to adopt the animal-free diet, explaining that there will be no supply if there is no demand. “If people stop eating meat, no animal would be slaughtered.” That’s how his family gradually became vegetarians.

In conclusion, Mr. Luo said, “The animal-free diet is love in action for the Earth. We should first begin with ourselves and gradually other people will follow our example.” He hoped that Supreme Master Television would continue to spread the veg message with the support of its audience. He further added that Supreme Master Television is providing the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on issues relating to environmental protection, and also reporting constructive and compassionate news from all over the world. In addition to that, it also broadcasts many programs that are beneficial to spiritual development, which is essential for our souls today!

Understanding that organic farming is helping to mitigate global warming and also benefits the world in many ways, Mr. Luo has switched to organic farming. We hope that more and more livestock farmers would follow Mr. Luo’s example, and strive hand-in-hand to halt global warming and to create a compassionate and sustainable future.
