As for it being impossible for you (or anyone else) to survive on a vegetarian diet, that is just pure nonsense.
i agree, i've been doing that... rather my family since generations.....
and abt fixing humans before animals.. i dun agree... compare it to ur own self. for e.g if someone has a brain tumour and also a broken limb, do u only treat the brain tumor while letting the limb on its own till the tumour's cured, just coz the brain is the 'more imp.' part that helps us think? if u do that then the person will become lame in sometime... this is the case here too. think of our body as the nature, and the different parts of our body as man, animals, birds etc. nothing can be ignored. everything is essential for proper funtioning of the body (and hence the nature). if something needs to be fixed, it needs to be fixed. not a thot more or less.
why the disparity to animals? at least we are doing our bit by spending less money to satisfy my appetite and saving that money. and lemme tell u something, loud and clear that i visit the less previlaged children once quarterly, spend sometime wid them, donate stuff (including the money and believe me the money i've saved in food in some way or the other helps me in contributing here). there this place called belaku (its in basavangudi, bangalore guys mebbe knoing the area).
i ask one more question, why is it prohibited to eat animals which can defend themselves? like a wolf, bear, lion, tiger, porcupine, rhino, elephant or even the dog and boar? jus coz they can defend themselves by attacking you and can cause harm to u when u try to hunt or slaughter them???? and jus coz humble animals like cow, goat, sheep can do nothing to defend themselves other than run away u are permitted to eat it? i dun understand the logic. i'm curious to kno on what basis is eating of certain animals is prohibited while others is permitted.
