Posted @withregram • @totallyveganbuzz A groundb Posted @withregram • @totallyveganbuzz A groundbreaking bill to protect captive animals and ban imports of elephant ivory and hunting trophies has been introduced in the Senate of Canada, yesterday. @janegoodallinst⠀ ⠀ The proposed bill has been drawn up by Sen. Murray Sinclair after joining forces with primatologist Jane Goodall.⠀ ⠀ The new bill builds on a law the federal government passed last year that bans whale and dolphin captivity in Canada.⠀ ⠀ Called the Jane Goodall Act, the bill will ban apes and elephants from being held captive unless it’s licensed and for conservation and non-harmful scientific research.⠀ ⠀ The proposed law will also outlaw the use of great apes and elephants for entertainment purposes and establish legal standing for the protected animals.⠀ ⠀ "I'm introducing a bill in the Senate of Canada that will establish some of the strongest animal-protection laws in the world," Sinclair announced at a news conference.⠀ ⠀ "Certainly, the strongest animal-protection laws in Canada."⠀ ⠀ Read the full story & more at TotallyVeganBuzz.com link via our bio 🍃

Should Buddhists be vegetarian? And the Dhammapad Should Buddhists be vegetarian? And the Dhammapada states, All tremble at violence; All fear death. Seeing others as being like yourself, Do not kill or cause others to kill. (Dhp 129)* . ☸️🙏🕉 . . . . . . . . . The Dhammapada: A New Translation of the Buddhist Classic with Annotations. Translated by Gil Fronsdal. Insight Meditation Center (Shambhala, 2005), p. 35
Why isn’t vegetarianism enough? Why should Budd Why isn’t vegetarianism enough? Why should Buddhists be vegan? As the Buddha states in the Surangama Sutra: “How then can those who practise great compassion feed on the flesh and blood of living beings? If bhiksus do not wear garments made of (Chinese) silk, boots of local leather and furs, and refrain from consuming milk, cream, and butter, they will really be liberated from the worldly; after paying their former debts, they will not transmigrate in the three realms of existence. Why? Because by using animal products, one creates causes (which are always followed by effects)...” ☸️🙏🕉 . . . . . . . . . . #DharmaVoicesForAnimals #DharmaVoices4Animals #Compassion #DoNoHarm #Buddha #FriendsNotFood #GoVegan
