When the non vegetarian life is born, the eyes are closed. When the Vegetarians are born the eyes are always open. Take the example puppies, cubs etc. as compared to calf, horse and human beings.

Stupid question.
Eyes closed = non-vegetarian meaning omnivores/carnivores = Puppies and bear cubs as do humans. Your examples are wrong.
I've seen numerous calves born and some have their eyes open, some have their eyes closed. You're wrong again.
Time to go back and look at reality instead of your religious dogma.
OH, and god didn't make humans, either.

As life forms evolved, some were vegetarians and lived on plants. Others eat the life forms that lived on plants. The distinction you are talking about is prey vs predator, not vegetarians vs meat eaters.
Prey animals have to be born ready to escape predators. Predators have more time after birth to open their eyes and learn about the world around them while their mother (and in rare cases, both parents) brings home the food.
Humans and other primates are in between. They open their eyes soon after birth, but need a lot of help from parents during the early stages of life. Most primates are omnivores.
It has nothing to do with any god, by the way.

I personally do not believe humans were "made" as vegetarians and my personal belief is that God is nature (not something/one in a human image).
Perhaps the reason for open eyes vs. closed at berth is evolutionary - those that are weaker and more prone to predation need to get themselves out of harms way faster i.e. need eyes quickly. Those that are stronger and predatory can be born earlier (as another writer suggested) and still survive. Humans are really a very weak species. If we did not have the ability to build we would be easily be dinner for a lot of creatures. Humans are definitely not at the top of the food chain. Hence having eyes develop early gives added advantage to avoid predators. If humans could not build perhaps we would have evolved to be faster developmentally as well.

Interesting opinion.
Eyes state at birth reflect foetal development, which depends solely on time spent in the womb (although obviously this is relative to the species). You are right when you say the horse, cow and human are born with their eyes open, but you overlook many other species. Mice and hamsters, along with gerbils and chinchillas, for example, are all vegetarian and are also born blind.

I'm a vegetarian, and don't believe that it's god's intent. Biologically, it's an option. We're not obligate carnivores like cats; we can live healthy and happy lives on diets with or without animal products. (We can also live badly on either kind of diet.)
I have moral reasons of my own for not eating meat. My wife eats meat - I made my choice, and she made hers. That's good enough for both of us.

Your question makes no sense, but I'm a vegetarian, so go veg!

Non sequitur. Your conclusion does not follow logically from your premise.
