Story About Vegetarianism

This is a short but true story about Loura, a 13 year old girl.

Loura was a young girl who lived with her Parents in Moscow. During school holidays, she would visit her grandmother who lives in a village nearby. Grandmother had a farmhouse which Loura used to love a lot. The farmhouse would be full of hens, turkeys, sheep, goats, cows, rabbits etc. Loura visited her grand mom’s place during the summer holidays and of course she had a great time in the farmhouse. This time, she noticed a cute rabbit which had a good mix of browns and white color. She named him “Pickoo”. Soon, they became close friends and when ever Loura would call “Pickoo” he would draw towards her. Loura used to talk to Pickoo as if he was her true friend. Loura had to get back to her parents due to some emergency. Before leaving from her grandmother’s place she promised Pickoo that she will come back within a week’s time.

One week later…

Loura visited her grandmom’s place along with her parents. On this occasion, her grandmother had prepared varieties of dishes for lunch and Loura enjoyed each and every scoop of it. Immediately after the lunch, she headed towards the farmhouse in search of Pickoo. To her surprise, she didn’t find him. Loura ran to her grandma and asked her where is “Pickoo”? Grandma replied with a gulp, “You had him for Lunch today”. Loura couldn’t believe it. She was shocked. She cursed her grandmother, her parents and herself for this. Probably, this was the most unforgettable moment in her life where she was directly or indirectly responsible for her friend’s brutal death.

Loura was terribly hurt with this incident. She transformed herself into vegetarianism with a promise that she will never ever depend on another life for her living.

I really wish that all non-vegetarians living in this earth, learn their lesson in the same way like Loura did and try to “live and let live”
