If the Old Testament persona masking as Moses were truly a representative of a loving deity, then certainly his actions would be exemplary, they would be a wonderful theme for children's books. But in fact, Moses' laws on animal sacrifice, as carried out by the priests conducting animal sacrifices, would be too grim even for Grimm's tales. Even some of the bloodiest film classics of our time, "Night of the Living Dead," "Nightmare on Elm Street," "Halloween," "The Evil Dead", and "Hellraiser" pale in comparison to parts of the Old Testament dealing with the animal holocausts.
When I watch horror films or films like "Natural Born Killers," and other Tarantino films, I always laugh a great deal. They are tremendously entertaining epitomes of God's justice, because people are being treated the way they treat animals every time they buy flesh to eat. In "Natural Born Killers" Woody Harrelson (certainly one of the most moral people in Hollywood in his private life) before proceeding (in the film) on his life of bloody violence, comes in to the house of his partner to be carrying many pounds of ground flesh. Shortly thereafter the father and mother are slaughtered, and then the partners proceed on executing many people for their "secret sin." The connection between the ground flesh is generally lost on the carnivore who doesn't want to raise questions regarding violence to God's creatures, questions that have been suppressed or repressed. But, as a vegan who long ago confronted the question honestly, I found "Natural Born Killers" hilarious. Hypocrites right and left are being bloodily oppressed and killed, just as they have been responsible for oppressing and killing others.
Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" is another classic which juxtaposes scenes of the bloody attack of Dracula on his victims with bloody plates of meat, beef and red wine. I don't know if Coppola is vegetarian, but he keenly sees the connection of horror between carnivorism and vampires. In fact carnivores may quite be seen realistically not only as serial killers of animals but symbolically as vampires living off the bloodshed of other creatures as well.
In another entertaining film, "Serial Mom," a normal mother who might as well be Mrs. Beaver, goes on a killing rampage of all those who have incurred her dislike. And her killing is juxtaposed with the tearing apart of a chicken's corpse in order to eat it. Another time she bludgeons one of her victims with a large leg of an animal who was being eaten on the dinner table of the victim. It was hilarious. It was a humoroud capsulated version of people justifying their meat eating at the same time that they are dying of cholesterol promoted diseases.
In another film which has been absolutely suppressed and repressed by the industrialists who rule the film industry, "Rock and Real" the film capsules the reality of what is good and what is evil by showing a cook chasing a cow with a meat cleaver in his hand, while the question is being asked, what is good and what is evil? It was such a strong denunciation of carnivorism that the film was rather quickly taken out of circulation so that hardly anyone even knows about the film.
Mad TV and Saturday Night Live sometimes show rather brilliant animals
rights cartoons, one, for example, in which people eat the fat of animal
corpses at well known fast food restaurants until their buttocks are bulging,
or of Plucky the Chicken, who, though a live chicken himself, advertises
the eating of chicken corpses. So we have the irony of a living happy chicken
saying "Look that's me," as live chickens are slaughtered, dismembered,
and put on a line to be packaged. So too in a classic Saturday Night
Live performance Belushi and a friend go through Manhattan shooting people
wearing fur coats, then taking their fur coats off of them, a simple but
profound way of linking the suffering of animals with the suffering of
humans.
In another cartoon,
a monkey escapes from a vivisection lab, and after freeing the animals
performs the same vivisection experiments on the vivesector who screams
in horror while the animals, and the audience, applaud.
"A Vampire in Brooklyn" as I recall also juxtaposes the eating of an animals' corpse with a vampire feeding on a human.
The horrors of "Leviticus" and "Exodus," though they are books of the Torah supposedly from God, are not made into realistic Bible Story Books, because both parents and children would be repulsed by the violence.
