That was the last time I ate a killed creature. The world's environment can no longer handle beef. Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. If you carry the power of compassion to the marketplace and the dinner table, you can make your life really count. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.
All creation has the same right to life.
I would not want to get to know a pig very well if I intended to eat him. A human can be healthy without killing animals for food. Therefore if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. Whenever we cause suffering or death to any other being, we cause suffering to the Great Life Force. I became a vegetarian.
