The well known Nobel Prize winning author, Isaac Bashevis Singer once wrote :
" The longer I am a vegetarian, the more I feel how wrong it is to kill animals and eat them. I think that eating meat, fish (and the flesh of all creatures) is a denial of all ideals, even of all religions.
How can we pray to God for mercy if we ourselves have no mercy ?
How can we speak of rights and justice, if we take an innocent creature and shed its blood ?
Every kind of killing is savage and there is no justification for it.
As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures, there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people.
Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.
If Man has the heart to cut the throat of a chicken or calf, there is no reason he should not be willing to cut the throat of another Man. "

This is so true.
It is very sad, and yet we continue to be savages.
I will post about this on flowingchi.
