What is animal welfare? | July 26, 2025

Animal welfare is the protection and stewardship of every sentient being within the creation, without material forms of interference, and this is surely the case with man, since on every account, except when it comes to the mental faculties of man, he stands below the rank of the apex of creatures in harmony with the celestial order, and as such man would deserve to be devoured by most apex predators, but the serpent has protected man with his intellectual abilities, but this quality also makes it necessary for any man trying to be moral and to operate in harmony with nature to respect nature and the animal kingdom therein, for he is the alien form. As such, it stands clear that man has no legitimate and moral claim against the animal kingdom—even though he claims to own the whole of or some part of the creation— and in every act that deprives sentient life of quality, sacred as well as material qualities, man commits a sin that must be punished, whether this is a sin in the material sense or the transcendental arena. Modern men have granted themselves the right to upend nature and other sentient life for their own material gain, and then they act upset when the creator punish them with fire and fury, for these men, the modern men, claim to be all knowing and acting with the most reasoned objective in mind, always for the claim that their actions will serve the "common" good of the populist horde. Verily, the same populist horde stands at the edge of civilization and finds itself not happy with the supposed strides of recent history and in their fervor for more they cannot stop themselves from shouting and capering like the ferocious baboons, or really the beasts, that they are, while nature suffers and their supposed civilization progresses, for modern man's relation to nature has been rendered a zero sum game, and as such it has been made the rational and logical thing to do for man, to destroy the creation, but man should not allow himself to indulge, for the creation will respond with the fullest wrath, and then he will be cast out of the land, and he will have surely deserved it, and such has also shown to be the case on many occasions in history. It is surely of providential and divine nature that man should come out as the eventual loser in the dysfunctional dynamic of civilization against nature, and this can also be shown to be the case with what modern man has labeled "medicine", everything becomes a rush against nature and this is also somehow labeled compassion in the modern world.

    Animal welfare means in short: that sentient life should be respected and not abused, for any reasons under the sun, for doing so would violate man's tenant with the creation and if he fails to uphold the standards set he deserves to feel the wrath. In nature, man's laws means nothing and he would be left out to the apex predator who would invariably win over man, for man deserves to lose against the creature of apex stature, for the reason that such a creature is of higher rank. It is fancy and commonplace today, to imagine nature as an egalitarian soup of different creatures that exists in harmony with themselves and nature, but nothing could possibly be further from the truth, and in face of that nature those modern and hip people would be the first to be devoured by the apex predator, and just as well, just as well. The entire premise of the humanist axiom is shattered into a million pieces by the laws of nature. Outside of the human context, man's tenant with the serpent: there is no such thing as egalitarianism, freedom, democracy, and the "rule of law", and if man believes himself to be strong enough to impose these concepts on nature, he is surely in for a rude awakening, for his very being deserves to be and is designed to be devoured, and the only thing that keeps him from being devoured by the apex predator is his primordial sinful pact with the serpent, that made Yahweh cast him out of the Garden of Eden, for he has shown himself to deserve the wrath of nature, yet he continues to sin and continues to lust. Animal welfare also means that man choose to treat creatures of apart constitution than himself with love and decent respect for he wishes to reflect his own relation to other men in his treatment of other life, and because abusing any life would be in violation of his good conscience, which can be shown as well by the state of man's civilization: the more civilized man can be said to be, the better he treats animals; and the less civilized man can be said to be the worse he treats animals. I would however just want to add a caveat to that last sentence: I do not agree that "less" civilized men always mistreat animals, and indeed the modern upending of the societal organism through industrialization goes to show that the so supposedly "civilized" countries of the Earth often mistreat animals far more, for they have lost their ancient ways anchored to the celestial order.

Todi Ragini (टोडी रागिनी), from a
Ragamala Series (रागमाला) c. 1755

    Of course, on one level man can be said to stand above other sentient life and this is apparent, but this is not due to any good reasons: man is out of tune with nature, for within his very being the serpent has integrated a disconnect or departure from the natural ways, and as such man is only apart from other creatures because he is a deviant and a cosmic actor of chaos and disorder, and such can also be shown to be the case in his extraordinarily depraved acts of immorality, something other life is incapable of. I am not trying to make the case that humans that hunt animals for their own consumption are immoral; indeed they are not. I am however, trying to make the case that humanity itself represents the most depraved and the most sickly form of sentient life, and this is shown in the fact that man is capable of enormous pain, for other creatures have not been punished this way, but man has also shown to be deserving of his final punishment, and in that context the so-called progress by humanity can be understood as his wish to be liberated from the pain of life, which takes the final form in the justification of murder and the taking of life.

    In the end, man will be shaken of the Earth by the wrath at the close of the Kali Yuga, and the few men that will survive the wrath will lead humanity into the new era of rebirth, and this is why I continue to hold that there is nothing to fear for the far seeing man, for this world is already doomed and beyond salvation. In the meantime, I continue as well to call for all far seeing men to embrace purity in the practice of sexual abstinence and celibacy, for the serpent's propaganda demands of you to sell out your senses and fall in love with the flesh of the meat. Do not do this!
