I like exploring different points of view.
I will continue to meditate and add to the visualization of the "happy horses" which I love doing. Thank you Icaro and Unbound.
But I think I am done attempting to discuss the subject of meat-eating at B4. I have added what I could of my perceptions, and derived an expanded view from the others here with different perceptions.
While there is evidence that plants have a response to stimuli, it's a quantum leap in assumption that plants then have the same sort of resistance and response to being tortured and killed as animals do. I have said much on this subject regarding plants as food and respect for plant life, and left those words here for any who may be interested.
I could not ever go back to eating meat. Every feeling revolts—for so many reasons. Not that anyone here has ever suggested it. The cruelty involved in taking the life of an animal for food when I don't need it just doesn't fly for me.
I will continue to eat plant life until such time that a possibility of evolving further is presented. Until then, plants in my opinion offer me the highest food source here, with the least amount of ecological damage, and the most amount of respect for general life.
Best wishes to everyone working out their own feelings on the subject.
