Wow I didn’t intend for this to escalate into a massive debate and disrespect anyone. You should know me by now to know it is just a harmless post, and I don’t even think it’s real photo.

This isn't about you at all, Love. I almost grabbed the picture separately just so you wouldn't feel dragged into the bigger point I was making.

In Asia, I think the dog would be okay.

In most Asian countries yes, in some no. It’s interesting how different cultures give different animals a pass, isn’t it? Japan reveres the Nara deer like sacred beings, India does the same with cows—yet in other places those same animals are food, no questions asked. Most Americans who wouldn’t think twice about killing a deer would be appalled at the idea of eating a kangaroo—yet you can buy roo meat at Woolworths in Australia. It’s wild how a kitten is family, a cow is sacred, a kangaroo is majestic, a deer is revered—yet somewhere else each one is just meat for slaughter.

I'm open-minded. I try them all at least once.

This was such a random post comment… ha Please dont take them seriously. Im just a thinkasaurus. —Ignore me love. 🧡👊🏻🍻

💯 No judgement, no moral rules not to eat meat. Just noticing that our way of eating meat is 1) disconnected from life. In most cases the appreciation, the gratitude for that life taken to energize our own is simply not there. No deep-felt honoring rituals. It shows a lack of sensitivity, of love for creation as a whole, and 2) indeed not necessary for survival. It may be healthy (when kept naturally) under our current scientific health criteria. But these change. Advanced yogis or meditators testify that eating meat, i.e. more complex life forms, lowers sensitivity, and with it deeper awareness to see behavior patterns that prevent us from being in love with ourselves and creation. The choice is always with us. The consequences follow.
