Is Meat eating justified just for sense gratification?

Question

Gita says that each and every living entity in this earth are sons of God so all are relatedf as brother under the umbrella of our common father .

Answer 1

Probably not for Hindus, but that's their right not my obligation

Answer 2

Many a times I have answered this question. Never mind, here it is once again............

Scientifically both plants and animals are having one basic unit common i.e. cell.

It contents are remarkably common except few like chlorophyl, centrosome, plastids, vacuoles etc.These cell constitute the whole body of an animal or a plant.

Now basic difference being its unability to create sound [ cry ] when broken /eaten /plucked, a plant or vegitable, can not make it eatable ethically and logically.

People eat vegitables just becoz they dont scream or cry. People drink milk which was actually meant for the calf and not for any other purpose. Where is their ethics ?


There may be a reason that blood of the killed animal makes them to have a guilty feeling, which is red and like ours becoz of hoemoglobin. But then the blood of plants, incidently not red, is as importan as red blood.

We love to kill kockroaches just becoz they dont have red blood.


The canines are the teeth which are not found in Herbivorous animals. The fact that canines are present in humen beings make it clear that humen are Omnivorous as the God meant us to be.

However for health point of view one should prefer vegitables though there are some protiens which can only be found in meat.

AND with due respect to Hindu scriptures I would like share with you the following which proves that meat eating was very much enjoyed in ancient India...............

Paraskar grahasutra says......" samanso madhupark ityaminyaya bahumanya mana shrotriyabhyagtaya vatsari mahokshan mahajan da nirvapanti grehmeghin , tahin dharmasutrakara samamnanti ."
.....meaning thereby that 'Madhupark' should be served with meat.

As per 'Apastamb'..." Samwatsaran GAVYEN preeti, bhuyansmato mahishen, eten gramyaranyana PASHUNA MANS medhyavyakhyatam. khadgopastarane khadagmansenanantya kalam tatha shatbalemartsayasya mansen vadhrinasasya cha.."[ AA.DHA. sutra 2/7, 16/25 & 2/7/17/3]

Meaning thereby that by serving 'COW MEAT' during 'SHRADH' the 'pitras' get satisfied for one year.

'Manu' has stated........." Niyuktastu yathanyaya yo mans nati manava sa pretya pashunta yaati. sambhavanekvishantim.."

i.e. one who doesnt eat the meat served during madhupark and shradh, remains an animal for 21 births.

There are plenty of evidences which suggest that animal meat was very popular during vedic period.

Plz read Vishnudharmotterpuran, Kurmapuran, Mhabharata, Meghdoot of Kalidasa ,branardiya etc etc.... for reference.

Plz note that this should in no way be construed to disgracing the great Vedas. I just qouted them to show you that meat eating was very much prevelent in ancient times, in India.

Answer 3

no , not at all. if you want to be cruel ,violant and animal instinct kind of person than you can eat it , there is no problem the God will also not object you.God made these kind of species to test your nature , wheather you are kind towards the animals or not .these animals might have done bad karmas in their previous life but why are you trying to do bad karamas. secondaly they would be killed , all the human being can not become kindfull.

By the way your language does need some REPAIR

Answer 5

yes.many religous people say why are the oceans soooo big and haveee soooo many fishes.the answer is...tooo fill our stomachs.many people who are vegans tease non-vegetarians but they are more cruel to animals and to the enviorment.i have an example for u.i live in ahmedbad and local people here are vegan in majority.they tease non-vegetarians and themselves burn trees during holi,kill innocent birds during kite flying season-utrrayin.now tell me is this justified?

Answer 6

I think it can be justified by the fact that livestock animals were born into that form only to die as food. Maybe it's kismet, and maybe it's karma, but that is their purpose, and all creatures have a purpose.

But that's my opinion only. You have to do what's right in your heart.

Answer 7

If our existence is improbable so much so that a supreme being had to create us, then I say that the creation of a supreme being is that much more improbable.

If you think about it, there is no god. Eat what you can so long as you don't exhaust it!

Answer 8

Yes,it is justified because people think themselves animals with brain,and they can hunt other animals with sophistication.It is law of jungle that strong prevails.They try to justify by writing it themselves in their holy books.

Answer 9

If you think like this. every one kills everything. coz even vegitarians are killers. Plants do live, if not it would not have given us fruits, food and everything.. So even vegitarian kills them for their daily food. It doesn't mean that killing and eating animals are good. i just said my point of view.Let me see for other answers too.

Answer 10

?????????????????????

I eat meat cos I can't stomache all the other stuff that is required to eat in copious amounts for the same amount of amino acids and iron...

Uh... Only People are sons Of GOD.
