Thanks sweet Rose, Your feelings are so humane which is understandable.But like I have mentioned earlier my point is about violence in the holy places like temple.It is not a question about being vegetarion/vegan or not.It is about century old concept that we should sacrifice some weaker lives in order to bless our stronger souls.I find this concept disturbing and dogmatic.It represents we are violent in our deeper selves. And like Buddha had said:Violence is not about solely killing it is about violence that we carry in our heart and soul. iZen
