Killing some living being, an animal for the lust of taste, is it right? What would you say if you were one of those meek animals. Put your selves in there shoes and now say what do you think about it?

for me, 100 percent vegetarian. i m not even an eggetarian.but i dont believe in your words or in other words i should say that i dont believe in what you are writing. i also love animals a lot. i just cant see them being slaughtered infront of me and then i taking it home n then cooking OPPPPPS!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!.but if i dont eat it, its not, that i m not eating because i dont love them or they dont have life or feel pain. they certainly have all these things and much more but my friend, i think, and you'll also agree that plants equally have life. if you wont water a plant for one day and keep it in Sun for the whole day you can see the result yourself. it will die. and it is because it has life. plants breathe the only difference is that they take in carbon-di-oxide and we or animals take in oxygen . infact they give us and the animals oxygen to breathe. if there wont be plants around and no greenery around we wont be able to live, because we wont be able to breathe. if you say that eating them is a lust or a taste then why not eating a fresh cucumber not a lust or a taste. you go a pick a nice cucumber from your kitchen garden, cut it and put salt on its freshly made wounds and then for your good taste you add some pepper and some lemon also then, then what my friend, then wont u feel that u have killed a thing which had life before, just a minute before u plucked it, slaughtered it in ur kitchen and then sprinkeled that burning thing on its freshly severed wounds. Whats that then my friend, i truly agree that one should be a vegetarian as one can get all nutreints from eating a balancing veg diet . I am a strict vegetarian but i dont believe in saying that i eat something which has no life. Most of the vegetarians i know, including myself are milk drinkers and curd eaters which is not a vegatarian product at all. and it is wrong to think that you are doing a favor on the cow by milking it. the cow as any other mother in originality produces milk only for its off-spring. Infact, the cow will always try to kick us away if we milk her but we cause her so much pain by tieing her and keeping her away from her calf and then stealing away that share of milk. in fact if u are eating curd, just curd then if u see that tooo under microscope, u'll see that there are 1000 and 1000's of micro organisms in it and because of these organisms only it is prepared and become sooo tasty and we eat. the day these micro organisms wont work your milk will never ever curdle up to be converted into curd. its certainly very true that if i put myself into a chicken's or a goat's or a pig's shoe what so ever it be, i'll feel the same pain. but more pain i'll feel if i step into the shoes of these plants who can't utter a word, who cant express their feelings but i eat them, and i m a very strict eater of veggies only. i cant even go from the street where these animals are slaughtered nor can i ever go to a meat market. it's soo horrifying to see the sight also of those cutting them and those innocent animals screaming. MAN, ITS SO DIFFICULT. but for example in Antartica or the south or the North pole, there are human civilizations but no vegetation, only sea food. so how do people survive there? just because we dont like something it does not necessarily mean that it is bad or wrong for everybody or everyone. the argument i feel, should always rest on a scientific comparission only as to what and in what situations either of the two is better for the human body. By the way we, the human beings are eaten and sucked every day by mosquitoes and insects for whom we are simply food and we both are living. so its not the question just a simple question of living beings being hurt by humans but a simple situation where every thing has its role and serves a purpose.

Being a vegetarian or non-vegetarian remains a matter of ones choice. I believe being vegetarian is a better way to a healthy living. The scriptures unambiguously support the meatless way of life. In the Mahabharata, for instance the great warrior Bhishma explains to Yudhishtira, eldest of the Pandava princes, that the meat of animals is like the flesh of one's own son, and that the foolish person who eats meat must be considered the vilest of human beings. Similarly, the Manusmriti declares that one should 'refrain from eating all kinds of meat,' for such eating involves killing and leads to karmic bondage . Elsewhere in the Vedic literature, king Parikshit, is quoted as saying in the Shrimad Bhagavatam that 'only the animal-killer cannot relish the message of the Absolute Truth. The Hindu scriptures also speak clearly and forcefully on non killing and vegetarianism.

Some animals exist right now because they are food sources. Like cows, or chihuahuas, or chickens. Those animals would be long extinct if humans didn't have an interest in keeping them alive to eat them. I don't think there is anything wrong with eating meat. I think if i was a cow, I would have to be reminded every second of what was going to happen next because cows are really stupid. So are chihuahuas and chickens.

I thinhk the cycle goes on.... see evry one is a sourse to the other one...we cannot just walk in some fine day and say this is not right... if human being is a part of this cycle but no one eats humans because they are at the top most of this food chain or the life cycle...because we are considerd to be the most intelectual animals only considerd... though....you see.. thomas eddison invented electricity and light bulb but a meray small insect carries its own flash light in its butt..einstine discoverd displacement...but elephants discoverd the dam... we are all smart enough in our own sreed but still we can see one creed feasting on the other.. so!!!! theres nothing wrong in being a veg or a non veg

I am non-vegi but i belive in normal cycle of nature. Moreover when we eat veg isnt we killing the plant , again by killing the plant we remove the food source of an animal, in turns kills it. What do you think?
