Can we be spiritual if we eat meat?

[ada]

Again, Kosher slaughter is awful as well. The animal is held upside down and has its throat slit, it chokes on its own blood. Cows are no different than our pet dogs or cats whom we love, so why do we act like the meat on our plate is not that same lovable animal?  
Would the butcher who's killing the animals be able to be spiritual? And so if he can't, then why can you? Just pondering.  

If you're looking for affirmations on why to eat or not to eat meat then you'll find plenty on both. Instead shift your awareness on the process of the meat that you consume, how it came to be and when you are there feeling whatever that you are, decide for yourself.
