Do you see souls in them or just a food? When I(man) am in the temple, mosque, church, I act as if I am the most religious person. When I talk, I want to prove myself as the wisest person in the world. But what about eating animals ? When a man kills a tiger, he says it is hunting. But vice versa, it creates a havoc. Don't you see - it also is breakfasting. It kills for survival - the mother nature created it that way. Human beings have thousands of other things to eat, but eventually the addiction, the unconscious state of mind, the habit or the ego plays the role. I've met people who say I love the animals .... but are so cunning that they never say, " I love to eat them too"
