Are you a vegetarian? A lot of people adopt this way of life to object to eating meat from sentient life.
I am not a vegetarian, are you a vegetarian?
Nope I enjoy eating meat just a little too much. The industrialization of meat processing does bother me though, we should care about the animal welfare of our food sources.
I agree that we should care about animal welfare, but what exactly bothers you? Is it pain inflicted or just how we treat them?
Animal welfare
Animal welfare is the well-being of nonhuman animals. The standards of "good" animal welfare vary considerably between different contexts. These standards are under constant review and are debated, created and revised by animal welfare groups, legislators and academics worldwide. Animal welfare science uses various measures, such as longevity, disease, immunosuppression, behavior, physiology, and reproduction, although there is debate about which of these indicators provide the best information.
Respect for animal welfare is often based on the belief that nonhuman
and spiritual thoughts about all life forms, the trend being to reduce the consumption of meat and favour a non-injurious vegetarian lifestyle.
Food and ethics.
Hinduism does not explicitly prohibit eating meat, but it does strongly recommend ahimsa – the concept of non-violence against all life forms including animals. As a consequence, many Hindus prefer a vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian lifestyle, and methods of food production that are in harmony with nature, compassionate, and respectful of other life forms as well as nature.
