When I was doing this comic, I feel a bit sick. Really, try to put it in the reality. It's horrible when mention of someone are eating human, but actually we human eat dead bodies of animals too. I have a diary ( www.tinykylie.com )done which one entry was talking about it. Here is the copy and pasted text – May be you will see what I mean, but then I understand more of what's Mr. Togashi have in his mind when he wrote the 3 Kings story and also of what Sensui realize how horrible and ugly Human actually are.
----- Diary -----
I like cats. I like birds. I like to see beautiful fishes swimming. I think horses are pretty, I think dolphins are cute.
But I eat meat.
Is this a big deal? Even though there's vegetarian, most people eat meat. When I hang out with Melissa I sometime forget she is a vegetarian until we have lunch/dinner together. She love animals, I love animals too. But she can really give up eating them. I was thinking I like vegetable, however I can't imagine one day I cannot have sashimi, pork neck salad, spicy pork salad, cha-siu-fan, chicken satay... Its not really a problems at all, since we were a child we ate everything parents gave you and you just take it really normal – okay you don't see what my question or what I'm really thinking about it. Let me go a bit further.
Don't ask me why, but recently was just thinking: have you ever think we are eating dead bodies? Yes we do. They ARE dead bodies. But human just think “they are animals anyways, they reproduce fast anyways." We even growth them to be our meals.
What if, there's kind of creature, whatever aliens or demons etc, their main pabulum/food are human. Yeah these are normal in movie or comic, but really, try to think about it – let's say demons. They turn you to be sashimi, they cut you into pieces and think of a good way to cook you make your taste better. Chicken feet would be human feet. Pork black pudding would be human black pudding. You eat the brain of monkey; they eat the brain of yours. Some crazy bastards like to eat animals when they are still alive (that I really can't accept) demons eat your fresh meat when you are still alive.
What really different between humans and animals was, animals just caught the target, kill it, eat it. Done. But human think of different ways to cook them – ok put that aside, to eat them alive is just SICK. You are already eating their dead body so don't give it unnecessary pain. Some tribe in Africa , after they hunt the animals they kill it real quick and will pray, apologize to the animal they caught, explain they need to feed the whole family etc before cooking them. But the more people get civilized the more people think of sick way to torture any creature which are weaker then themselves.
Well - I'm going far from the topic. I feel so guilty when I think of I has been eating dead bodies of other animals. To make myself feel better, I look at carnivore like lions, sharks etc, they eat meat too! This is just how the nature is. Nevertheless human are turning the nature to be a better place for them by destroying the whole system. build nicer house (and we love nice houses, stone jungle) etc....Just because I'm a human so I can't really say we are all shitty, like when you are XXese (fill in the nationlity yourself) and you think XXese are crap but you can't say it out loud coz you are one of them. To the world or to each other, humanity some how is a disease. I remember one of my science teacher said every animals and incest, even the ‘harmful' one to us human (like cockroaches that I hate) have it own function and it's good for the nature system. The true vermin are actually us human. We are here to destroy the world.
If I can choose next life, I don't want to be human. But I don't want to be the weak animals to get kill either. So I shouldn't be in this world if there's next life I guess.
