Why I am not a vegan

[indolering]

That's why these threads are so entertaining for me. This is all subjective conjecture based upon ones own personal belief system yet they espouse it as gospel and look down upon those who think otherwise.

The main point in my post(s) is that the torture and mass slaughter of sentient creatures is definitely representative of cruelty. And those involved in any part of the process of this business of killing animals for food shares in the guilt. This is not conjecture or opinion but unassailable fact. You disagree?

And I do not look down on those who are cruel to animals. I condemn cruelty to animals and will defend this position. I pity those who are involved for they invite negative experience for themselves in the future (karma and all that, right?). The pathological obsession with cruelty and the consumption of corpses is, for humans, a perversion of human nature - it is the nature of lions to hunt for prey; it is the nature of man, as an herbivore to eat plants and avoid violence. The fact that men have always been involved with war and strife stems more from the aberrations of control (lust for power/control), greed, and pride; one might also say that spiritual insensitivity is due to a lack of spiritual development. It's not entertaining to me to witness so-called aspirants endorsing cruelty on a grand scale, to say nothing of the health and ecological harm inflicted by this practice.
