So you wish government to force your sentimentality on everyone else? Why are you here at this forum tyrant?

So why don't you move to a country where slaughter of cows is legal or better yet why don't you raise and slaughter your own cow and put it's eye ball on your plate while you eat the flesh of the animal you raised to kill and eat. Jesus was a vegetarian...

Jesus was not a vegetarian.

Question: "Was Jesus a vegetarian? Should a Christian be a vegetarian (or vegan)?"

https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-Christian-vegetarian.html

Answer: Jesus was not a vegetarian. The Bible records Jesus eating fish (Luke 24:42-43) and lamb (Luke 22:8-15). Jesus miraculously fed the crowds fish and bread, a strange thing for Him to do if He was a vegetarian (Matthew 14:17-21). In a vision to the apostle Peter, Jesus declared all foods to be clean, including animals (Acts 10:10-15). After the flood in Noah's time, God gave humanity permission to eat meat (Genesis 9:2-3). God has never rescinded this permission.

With that said, there is nothing wrong with a Christian being a vegetarian. The Bible does not command us to eat meat. There is nothing wrong with abstaining from eating meat. What the Bible does say is that we should not force our convictions about this issue on other people or judge them by what they eat or do not eat. Romans 14:2-3 tells us, “One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.”

Why would anyone from the general area of that time period be a vegetarian in the first place?

[COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]Deserts[/COLOR] are well known for being hot and often dry places, and it can be [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]difficult[/COLOR] for plants to grow in sand and with little water.

There are still many [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]foods[/COLOR] eaten in the desert, but each desert or region of the world produces, grows or rears different types of food, so the food eaten will depend on the location. This is a quick [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]overview[/COLOR] of what kinds of food can be eaten in desert climates:

• Meat as food

Despite the rougher [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]conditions[/COLOR], it is still possible for animals to be reared in the desert to be used for their meat and other products such as milk. Some species of goat are found in the desert, where they can be used for their milk and meat.

Similarly, [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]camels[/COLOR] can produce milk and can also provide tasty meat, although their ability to go for long periods of time without water and carry heavy loads is also very useful. Even lizards can be a good source of nutrients for humans and it is not uncommon for some reptiles to be eaten as a part of a desert [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]diet[/COLOR].

• Vegetables and plants as food

Even though deserts are synonymous with a lack of water, many types of plant can grow in the desert and provide food for human life. For example palm trees can grow easily in desert conditions and some palm trees produce fruit called the [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]date palm[/COLOR].

When ripe, date palms are sweet tasting fruits that are very nutritious. Many [COLOR=#1B8EDE !important]cacti[/COLOR] and other plants found in the desert are edible and are a great source of water as well as vitamins that can sustain the body in the desert.

But, that said, if we're going to compare historical figures and hold their eating habits to account...

Hitler was, in fact, a vegetarian, and a committed "animal rights" person.

He was also a dedicated and zealous anti-smoking, ahem, Nazi.

I don't eat animals and they don't eat me.

Amen. Reminds me of the quote, "Animals are my friends, and I don't eat my friends."

Since India is mostly Hindu I would think that so called democracy is working there in this instance.

From what I have read, this law appears to be a nation-wide ban on the sale of cows for the purpose of slaughter for meat in agriculture marketplaces, but it does not ban killing cows one has raised or the private sale of cows for the purpose of slaughter.

I wouldn't want to tell other people how to eat, and think it is wrong to do that. I also think it is wrong to judge others, including for what they eat or who they kill by their eating (such as a cow), as I believe that judging is for God to do.

Additionally, I do not see much difference between killing or eating a human, and killing or eating a cow. In Hinduism, both killing humans and killing animals by eating meat are considered sinful (also known as bad karma or bad action), and are punished in the afterlife or through reincarnating (such as to become a cow on a meat farm). Because there is no nutritional need for meat in humans, the only reason to eat meat is for taste preference, and doing so kills a living being much like oneself so it is a values judgement on another's life. I think it is better to think it through and make the values judgement that you believe someone else's life (such as a cow's) is low value enough to kill for a flavor (not nutrition) and accept that and maybe hunt, than it is to never think about it and only get sterilized packages from the supermarket and be against hunting.

There are laws against killing humans already. I believe these laws exist not to protect society from breaking down, but because it is morally wrong to kill humans. Both humans and cows possess sentience, consciousness, a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain and suffer -- additionally, the soul is the animating force, and is the same whether it is currently in a human or cow body. I see the value to having no or minimal laws or rulers, but I also see the value life and of civilization from the Vedic perspective. Such a law should not affect the ability of those in poverty to obtain nutrients except in extreme climates, because plants are cheaper than meat and there is dairy.

This law does seem over-reaching and tyrannical in that it removes freedom... in the same way that murder laws do, and for the same reasons. It doesn't attack Christianity or the poor, because you don't need to eat cows to be Christian, and plants are cheap. I am not sure exactly how I feel about such a law because I don't like restrictions on freedom, but I do see it as moral in the same way that murder laws are, and I think laws against murder are good. This post might not be well received by people that I respect here, but I want to say that I respect you guys, especially AF and those who hunt and accept their diet's philosophy.
