Eating meat destroys the attitude of great compassion.

To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.

Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission--to be of service to them whenever they require it... If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

A dead cow or sheep lying in the pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of carcass dressed and hung up in a butchers stall passes as food.

Is shooting a cow the same as shooting a human being? It is if you're the cow!

Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.
