It is well to do things gradually; not that a sudden change need cause any trouble, but you would probably expect it to, and your expectations might make you imagine that it had. Begin by eating meat only once a day; then, after a month or two, drop it altogether, but still eat fish for a time. Take care meanwhile to substitute the foods rich in proteids &#8211; the cereals, wholewheat bread, peas and beans, cheese and eggs. Eventually it may be best to drop eggs and dairy products too, but it is difficult to do it if you live with others, and I have not yet been able in my own case. It is a very easy change to make, to give up meat. If you have plenty of other food, you will not feel any deprivation at all. I know what it is to have given up tobacco, and it was a serious struggle, and I blame no one for failing in the attempt, but I have never had the slightest inclination to go back to meat; and the idea is now disagreeable, and the smell of a butcher&#8217;s shop or of a kitchen where bacon is frying is most offensive to me. ~<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#%E2%80%A6on_slaughterhouses_%E2%80%93\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-41\"  >&#8230;.on slaughterhouses &#8211;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#P5_%E2%80%93_From_the_aesthetic_point_of_view_slaughter-houses_are_blots_upon_the_face_of_the_earth_and_in_half-unconscious_recognition_of_this_fact_we_usually_hide_them_away_out_of_sight_It_is_quite_possible_indeed_to_go_through_life_without_ever_seeing_one_At_the_present_moment_I_can_only_recall_three_which_have_ever_come_into_my_field_of_vision_One_was_out_in_the_country_in_the_midst_of_the_beautiful_intervale_of_New_Hampshire_An_ugly_board_shanty_in_the_fields_with_a_pile_of_hideous_offal_at_one_side_and_a_sickening_stench_to_leeward_to_us_children_it_was_like_an_outpost_of_hell_in_the_midst_of_heaven_and_we_shunned_it_instinctively_and_turned_our_eyes_away_The_second_was_the_municipal_abattoir_of_Alexandria_in_Egypt_for_once_built_out_in_plain_view_of_the_railway_with_melancholy_strings_of_buffaloes_and_other_cattle_waiting_their_turn_in_front_Once_I_walked_along_the_shore_of_the_Mediterranean_behind_it_not_far_from_the_foundations_of_Cleopatras_palace_but_I_had_to_leap_across_rivulets_of_blood_running_down_into_that_poetic_sea_and_the_smell_was_almost_overpowering_so_that_I_never_passed_that_way_again_The_third_slaughterhouse_of_my_experience_was_of_all_places_at_Venice_I_had_secured_a_gondolier_of_singular_resourcefulness_and_after_he_had_exhausted_his_list_of_churches_and_galleries_he_brought_me_through_out-of-the-way_canals_to_the_Palace_of_Butchery_and_was_chagrined_when_I_declined_to_go_in_and_insisted_on_being_conveyed_elsewhere_I_shall_never_forget_the_forbidding_look_of_the_place_nor_the_lowing_and_bellowing_of_the_kine_concealed_somewhere_in_its_foul_recesses\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-42\"  >P5 &#8211; ~ From the aesthetic point of view slaughter-houses are blots upon the face of the earth, and in half-unconscious recognition of this fact we usually hide them away out of sight. It is quite possible, indeed, to go through life without ever seeing one. At the present moment I can only recall three which have ever come into my field of vision. One was out in the country, in the midst of the beautiful intervale of New Hampshire. An ugly board shanty in the fields, with a pile of hideous offal at one side and a sickening stench to leeward, to us children it was like an outpost of hell in the midst of heaven, and we shunned it instinctively and turned our eyes away. The second was the municipal abattoir of Alexandria in Egypt, for once built out in plain view of the railway, with melancholy strings of buffaloes and other cattle waiting their turn in front. Once I walked along the shore of the Mediterranean behind it, not far from the foundations of Cleopatra&#8217;s palace, but I had to leap across rivulets of blood running down into that poetic sea, and the smell was almost overpowering, so that I never passed that way again. The third slaughterhouse of my experience was, of all places, at Venice. I had secured a gondolier of singular resourcefulness, and after he had exhausted his list of churches and galleries, he brought me through out-of-the-way canals to the Palace of Butchery, and was chagrined when I declined to go in and insisted on being conveyed elsewhere. I shall never forget the forbidding look of the place nor the lowing and bellowing of the kine concealed somewhere in its foul recesses. ~<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Some_Old_Vocabulary\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-43\"  >Some Old Vocabulary<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Proteids_now_we_use_%E2%80%98proteins\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-44\"  >Proteids = now we use &#8216;proteins&#8217;.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Intervale_a_word_commonly_used_in_rural_New_Brunswick_Canada_to_refer_to_the_rich_fertile_bottomland_along_rivers_and_streams\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-45\"  >Intervale = a word commonly used in rural New Brunswick, Canada, to refer to the rich fertile bottomland along rivers and streams.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Offal_the_viscera_and_trimmings_of_a_butchered_animal\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-46\"  >Offal =\u00a0 the viscera and trimmings of a butchered animal.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Leeward_adjective_adverb_on_or_towards_the_side_sheltered_from_the_wind_downwind\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-47\"  >Leeward\u00a0= adjective &amp; adverb = on or towards the side sheltered from the wind; downwind.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Kine_an_old_English_plural_form_of_%E2%80%98cow_%E2%80%93_%E2%80%9Cthe_lowing_kine_came_home_at_twilight%E2%80%9D\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-48\"  >Kine = an old English plural form of &#8216;cow&#8217; &#8211;\u00a0&#8220;the lowing kine came home at twilight&#8221;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Gondolier_a_person_who_propels_and_steers_a_gondola_a_boat_%E2%80%93_a_Venetian_boatman_who_propels_a_gondola\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-49\"  >Gondolier = a person who propels and steers a gondola (a boat) &#8211;\u00a0a (Venetian) boatman who propels a gondola.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Palace_of_Butchery_Crosbys_ironic_term_for_a_slaughterhouse\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-50\"  >Palace of Butchery = Crosby&#8217;s ironic term for a slaughterhouse.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Chagrin_verb_%E2%80%93_past_participle_chagrined_feel_distressed_or_humiliated_%E2%80%93_%E2%80%9Che_was_chagrined_when_his_friend_poured_scorn_on_him%E2%80%9D\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-51\"  >Chagrin = verb &#8211; past participle: chagrined = feel distressed or humiliated. &#8211; &#8220;he was chagrined when his friend poured scorn on him&#8221;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E2%80%93-5\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-52\"  >&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Ernest_Howard_Crosby_1856%E2%80%931907_was_an_American_reformer_and_author_born_in_New_York_City_the_son_of_Presbyterian_minister_Howard_Crosby_and_a_relative_of_prolific_hymn-writer_and_rescue_mission_worker_Fanny_Crosby_Wiki\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-53\"  >Ernest Howard Crosby (1856\u20131907) was an American reformer and author, born in New York City, the son of Presbyterian minister Howard Crosby, and a relative of prolific hymn-writer and rescue mission worker Fanny Crosby.

Elected as a Republican to the Assembly of New York State, he had been appointed in 1889 to be a Judge of the International Court in Egypt ; but after serving there five years, his whole life was suddenly changed, owing largely to a book of Tolstoy&#8217;s which fell into his hands : he resigned his post, and thenceforward passed judgment on no man but himself. A poet and thinker of high order, he stood up with unfailing courage against the brute force of &#8221; imperialism &#8221; in its every form \u2014 the exploitation of one race by another race, of one class by another class, of the lower animals by mankind. It is strange that his writings, especially the volume entitled Swords and Plowshares, should be almost unknown to English democrats, for they include many poems which touch a very high standard of artistic excellence, and a few that are gems of verse. &#8220;The\u00a0Tyrant&#8217;s Song,&#8221; for instance, expresses in a few lines the strength of the Non-Resistant, and of the conscientious objector to military service (&#8221; the man with folded arms &#8220;) ; yet during all the long controversy on that subject I never once saw it quoted or mentioned. A superficial likeness between Crosby&#8217;s unrhymed poetry and that of Edward Carpenter led in one case to an odd error on the part of an American friend to whom I had vainly commended Carpenter&#8217;s writings ; for in his joy over Swords and Plowshares he rashly jumped to the conclusion that &#8220;Ernest Crosby &#8221; was a nom de plume for the other E.C. &#8220;I owe you a confession,&#8221; he wrote. &#8221; Hitherto I have not been able to find in Carpenter anything that substantiated your admiration for him ; but now a flood of light is illuminating his Towards Democracy.&#8221; I communicated this discovery to the poets concerned, and they were both charmed by it.\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Crosby_was_a_tall_handsome_man_of_almost_military_appearance_and_this_too_was_a_cause_of_misapprehension_for_an_English_friend_whom_he_visited_and_who_knew_him_only_through_his_writings_spent_a_long_afternoon_with_him_without_even_discovering_that_he_was_the_Crosby_whose_poems_he_admired\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-60\"  >Crosby was a tall handsome man, of almost military appearance, and this, too, was a cause of misapprehension ; for an English friend whom he visited, and who knew him only through his writings, spent a long afternoon with him without even discovering that he was the Crosby whose poems he admired. ~<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/vegan-slaughterhouse-reflections\/#Ernest_H_Crosbys_poem_on_conscientious_objectors_pacifists\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-61\"  >Ernest H.

It is well to do things gradually; not that a sudden change need cause any trouble, but you would probably expect it to, and your expectations might make you imagine that it had. Begin by eating meat only once a day; then, after a month or two, drop it altogether, but still eat fish for a time. Take care meanwhile to substitute the foods rich in <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/browse\/proteid\" title=\"protein is the modern word\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external nofollow\">proteids<\/a> &#8211; the cereals, wholewheat bread, peas and beans, cheese and eggs. <strong>Eventually it may be best to drop eggs and dairy products too, but it is difficult to do it if you live with others, and I have not yet been able in my own case.<\/strong> It is a very easy change to make, to give up meat. If you have plenty of other food, you will not feel any deprivation at all. I know what it is to have given up tobacco, and it was a serious struggle, and I blame no one for failing in the attempt, but I have never had the slightest inclination to go back to meat; and the idea is now disagreeable, and the smell of a butcher&#8217;s shop or of a kitchen where bacon is frying is most offensive to me. ~<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A6on_slaughterhouses_%E2%80%93\"><\/span><strong>&#8230;.on slaughterhouses &#8211;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/stream\/2917150.0001.001.umich.edu#page\/4\/mode\/2up\" title=\"From the aesthetic point of view slaughter-houses are blots upon the face of the earth, and in half-unconscious recognition of this fact we usually hide them away out of sight.\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external nofollow\">P5 <\/a><\/strong>&#8211; ~ From the aesthetic point of view slaughter-houses are blots upon the face of the earth, and in half-unconscious recognition of this fact we usually hide them away out of sight. It is quite possible, indeed, to go through life without ever seeing one. At the present moment I can only recall three which have ever come into my field of vision. One was out in the country, in the midst of the beautiful<a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/intervale\" title=\"Intervale is a word commonly used in rural New Brunswick, Canada, to refer to the rich fertile bottomland along rivers and streams.\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external nofollow\"> intervale<\/a> of New Hampshire.

The second was the municipal abattoir of Alexandria in Egypt, for once built out in plain view of the railway, with melancholy strings of buffaloes and other cattle waiting their turn in front. Once I walked along the shore of the Mediterranean behind it, not far from the foundations of Cleopatra&#8217;s palace, but I had to leap across rivulets of blood running down into that poetic sea, and the smell was almost overpowering, so that I never passed that way again. The third slaughterhouse of my experience was, of all places, at Venice. I had secured a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/gondolier\" title=\"Gondolier = a person who propels and steers a gondola (a boat) - a (Venetian) boatman who propels a gondola.\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external nofollow\">gondolier<\/a> of singular resourcefulness, and after he had exhausted his list of churches and galleries, he brought me through out-of-the-way canals to the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Palace of Butchery<\/span>, and was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/chagrin\" title=\"Chagrin - verb - past participle: chagrined = feel distressed or humiliated. - &quot;he was chagrined when his friend poured scorn on him&quot;\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external nofollow\">chagrined<\/a> when I declined to go in and insisted on being conveyed elsewhere.

Elected as a Republican to the Assembly of New York State, he had been appointed in 1889 to be a Judge of the International Court in Egypt ; but after serving there five years, his whole life was suddenly changed, owing largely to a book of Tolstoy&#8217;s which fell into his hands : he resigned his post, and thenceforward passed judgment on no man but himself. A poet and thinker of high order, he stood up with unfailing courage against the brute force of &#8221; imperialism &#8221; in its every form \u2014 the exploitation of one race by another race, of one class by another class, of the lower animals by mankind.

I would now suggest that it would be a most helpful step if individuals who favour this idea would lend their names to strengthen the appeal that will have to be made to some Public Institution for the use of a room, and if Societies and Journals would also express their agreement. Such a Memorial would be so personally suitable, in view of Mr. Bell\u2019s many and long continued services, and so valuable to the cause of humane progress in general, that it is difficult to see how any objection could be made to it: the sole question is whether the initial difficulties can be overcome.
