Ghanaian Hiplife musician Okyeame Kwame has made a shocking statement as to why he would not hurt animals if it happens to enter his bedroom or anywhere near his house in an interview with Giovani Caleb 3FM.
According to the “Made In Ghana” hitmaker, Animals in question has the same feelings as humans thus his decision not eat or hurt animals is something he will never do until he’s no more.
“I’ve been vegetarian for six years, vegan for two years. I don’t eat meat or anything from animals except honey. One day I just realized that the most important thing to me is my life and I saw the cow feels the same way. If my life is important to me, and I want to watch my children grow, and the cow and the chicken also feel the same way, then I shouldn’t eat them. I stopped” he told Giovani Caleb in a recent interview on 3FM.
Startled by his submission, Giovani supplemental asked; “So, you’re one of those people that if a snake enters your house, you’re looking at how to save it before surviving?” to which The “Rap Docta” replied;
“You know what is interesting? There are 200 species of snakes and only 20 of them bite to kill. If you look at where the eyes are, you can tell whether it is poisonous or not.”
Giovani, could not imagine how it’s going to look like for Okyeame Kwame giving up his life and family just to check on the species of the snake retorted;
“At that moment of survival, you’re thinking of species?” to which Okyeame Kwame gleefully answered;
“If it confronts you, then you need to save yourself, obviously. But a snake has entered your house, it’s in the kitchen, then everyone is looking for something to come and hit it?”
Okyeame Kwame added that once human beings are able to different love and fear, they’ll come to understand that everything deserves love.
“The opposite of love is not hate; the opposite of love is fear. And we fear what we don’t know. So, if you take your time to know the things that are of importance to you, you’ll have no fear. And once you have no fear, you become complete love. And once you become love, you can’t hurt people; you can’t hurt animals. Even when you’re coming to eat a plant, you know you’re hurting it and you’re sad for it,” he stated.
