Had an discussion with a friend: didn't want to eat meat because she loves animals but said that "it's not that easy". Claimed she knew a girl who couldn't maintain a vegetarian diet because she had some nutritional deficits (rubbish). Throughout the argument, she didn't give me one reason why she had to eat meat.
Cause: an article about horses being harmed... So it's ok to harm a horse but cutting up cows, pigs etc. is ok? People need to be more consistent and stop being such hypocrites.
I agree and practice this path...ihave one questtion, a muslim preacher who has enormous knowledge in hindu scriptures ...and he argued that human being have canines because he was a meat eater.. he cited the mahabharat where it is said that giving gifts of buffalo and cows will reap great benefits etc so i need to be able to answer this man. please enlightten me. also are you in india? Can one visitt you? my name is parvati pkhan3@hotmail.com,
omg i havent laughed so hard in a long time hearing the story about krishna and cows))...i mena in a good way of course..i just imagined him playing his flute and cows being in trance it seemed so cute and funny to me)))
You unknowingly kill them daily by just walking around outside, and you kill some (house flie and mosquitos mainly) purposely because they harass you..
@Meridia This is my opinion if we unknowingly kill some insects then we dont have to feel sad for that and and mosquitos and flies causes a lot of diseases too so if we have to, we can kill them other than that we should not hurt any other animals
@OpticalxXxYoroxXx you are saying as if our sun is the only sun in this world of millions of galaxies and explosion of sun would destroy entire galaxies.
I really think vegetarianism is the way to go against animal cruelty. What I found interesting was Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, in his video, The Joy of Liberating Animals on Youtube, advised his students to turn vegetarian to create the causes to build an animal sanctuary or shelter. This is to show their commitment to care for animals instead of just saying they care. We dont really care for animals if we keep eating them every meal!
I do... in fact I was reading about how it's a myth that fish don't feel pain. Besides that, people eat fish because they judge them as the dumbest animal. But I don't think an animal's worth should be gauged on it's intelligence.
Yes, Mr. djwaugust only bozos call others bozos! This is true..I admit I am a bozo!! You are a bozo..we are all bozos because we all belong to the human race..a race that has killed over 100 million members of their own species in the 20th century alone..and continue to inflict cruelty and suffering on each other as well as other life forms on the planet. Bozo was too nice a word..but at least I can admit that I am one ..at least I'm a vegetarian bozo!!
Also, just living in human society, your living off the death of animals. The very town or city your living in, was cleared by man, killing countless animals in the process.
Also you kinda contradicted yourself. You say we were meant to eat only vegetables, yet you say your ancestors didn't know how to grow their own food, only hunt. Why did we have to hunt? Because we couldn't eat any random plant in our area, and our instinct told us to hunt and eat meat.
Evolution has also come with an evolution of consciousness. In this New Age, documentaries like Earthlings & the research in The China Study reveal many sad truths... We owe it to the animals, to our planet, & to ourselves to be better informed & act consciously...
You don't HAVE to be vegetarian to be healthy, it may make it easier, but it won't bar you from being healthy if you eat meat. It may make you have to work harder to reach that health you want, but in exchange, you get to eat what you like.
I don't think ole Foxworthy is smart like a fox! You have all the answers don't you..how about deflating your ego long enough to take in information from a master teacher..or forget about becoming enlightened or raising your consciousness..just stay ignorant for another 1,0000 lifetimes and reap the karma of your slaughtering..everyone justifies their idiocyncrasies and preferences..but thats why God made this reform school..earth..the mental hospital run by the patients!! Wake Up! Bozo's
If the animal is near extinction then there sure are other leather and fur items that can be made to simulate the product.
Although this is a large question, due to the fact that some products require real leather for quality; boots, clothes, certain working appliances, etc. And it is not better to be a vegitarien. We eat meat with a norm and yes even vegetables. No harm done. If you humans were not made to eat other creatures we would indeed die for natural reasons by eating meat. And only if.
Just the start of the video disagrees with me. I am a meat eater, and these videos seem to attract a lot of meat eater. I like meat. I am not eating it blindly. Yes they are killing them in a cruel way. The meat packing companies use methods that save time and money to produce a meat product. A large portion of the population can not afford or just do not have the proper places to grow a livestock. As for the leather part. It is not good to extort a species if they are close to extinction.
"once you become vegetarian you are going towards nonviolence automatically"
LIE!
VEGANS AND NON MEAT EATHERS ARE SOME OF THE MOST VIOLENT PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET! Look up all the people throwing crap at fur wearers, people who dont agree with your vegan ways get a verbal assault, ect.
"VEGANS AND NON MEAT EATHERS ARE SOME OF THE MOST VIOLENT PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET! Look up all the people throwing crap at fur wearers, people who dont agree with your vegan ways get a verbal assault, ect."
Bullshit. As a meat-eater myself, it's other meat-eaters who don't shut the fuck up, that provoke vegans into doing such in the first place.
In nature herbivores are much more aggressive towards there own and other herbivores than carnivores and omnivores are to each other, becoz they need to consume more food than carnivores and omnivores there for need more space
eg hippos kill more people in Africa than all the carnivores put together each yeah . vegans are just malnourished and moody
the wolf needs no more reason then a thirst and a hunger for food at a point when hunger becomes great enough or there becomes a want for some thing that will make u more powerful u may look apon ur fellow man for power. i love protein mamal flesh
its actually ver bad for you meat is pumped up with artificial hormones and skin plumping ingredients so the animals are the right size to be killed. There has been direct links from meat and early physical development inc hildren/adolescants because of the hormones. It is also full of saturated fat I dont tell anyone not to meat if you were bright enough to read properly I fully believe it is up to the individual I just have more respect for my body to feed it with rotten decomposing flesh
I just want to know, is it hypocrisy to wear leather, silk, wool, etc. and be vegan at the same time?? Is it okay if you just become vegan for health reasons?? Can you just be a Vegan simply because you prefer a carrot over a chicken leg??
I believe it is up to the individual its you life live it for your own reasons. I am vegetarian for health and because I dont think the way animals are killed for meat is right that is just my opinion so that is what I choose. If people dont want to eat animal products for health that is not for cruelty reasons that is the choice of the individual I dont think it is hypocritical unless they are going on about not eating meat cos its cruel then wearing leather!x
If you already own items made from these things, you might as well still use them. Buying things made from plastic also causes harm to animals (in an indirect but profound way). Leather and wool might actually cause less harm in the long run than synthetic materials. yogeeshashram makes a very good point. Probably best to buy leather shoes, plastic items etc from thrift stores (or charity shops) as then you are doing far less harm to the enviroment and actually doing some good.
I agree with those, vegetarian or not, who say that it is up to you to decide what to do. We do have Free-Will and should exercise it. I do find it interesting that you are questioning your choices at the moment. That may be the "ahh-ha moment" for you. Peace
a mosquito annoys a human and sucks the blood or a snake is poisonous and heinas are agressive and predators. Does Satan create his own animals too? or We made the animals be that way?? Can we attain an animal body if we degrade our consciousness?? And if so then we need to pay 4 it. So if humans don't make 'em pay who else will? There's nothing clear in this messed up world. I wish God or someone could explain everything truthfully. Thanks!!
If God didn't want humans to eat meat, He would have removed the 4 canines he gave us in the first place. Our digestive system is designed to break down non-vegetarian diet. Allah says in the Qur'an that He's created the cow so we can feed from her. I think he meant the milk only. Anyway eating or not eating meat doesn't make you better or worse is our actions and attitude what makes a difference. I can be vegetarian and be very proud and selfish or I can be meat eater and b humble and shar
I think that the stronger u get the less u need. At the current state I don't eat meat but I saw "meet the meat" and the fact is fact that eating eggs and milk cause suffering like meat. And the thing about milk is not so sure in general cause human didn't drink milk after first few months after birth and I've read that milk it self is not healthy (ofcourse not in small supply) it was in one of Tombak's books rll nice btw.
This is where I get lost. Many Hindus I meet consider cows sacred but they consume milk and dairy often from regular grocery stores which plays a part in the suffering of cows in dairy farms. If one wants to be non-violent, free from partaking in the suffering of cows, then why would they not be Vegan ? Some people speak of it for health like this man but how is pateurized milk that has been found to contain blood and puss from cows living in filthy conditions healthy ?
You see what happines when technogey came? if it didnt happen the world wouldent have holes in the 0-zone layer if we lived like in the old age.. we wouldent have it we wouldent have bombs we wouldent have these shoes, purses etc. Im 13 and im not a vega taerin my self but he has some solid proof why...
