The Food Chain Conundrum

The Food Chain Conundrum

I face many people asking me about me not eating Meat and as usual try to strike a cliche conversation(as every veg eater would have faced at least once in his/her lifetime) about my conviction behind not eating meat.They expect me to reply that killing a life is a sin and that's the reason for me being veg. And they would rightly pounce on me saying that even plants have life, so there is nothing different from eating meat or vegetables.Although my reasons for not eating Non-veg are completely by choice.

On a broader sense, They are absolutely right! Because Humans are programmed to be compassionate.So human compassion is something where they don't want to see another living being in a state of suffering.

But I have got a few questions to ask ...

If killing is not wrong, why don't you kill a random guy walking around the street,
strip him the skin boil his head and have for him a night's dinner?

You won't. Also, the law doesn't allow you.But you won't fight the government for killing human beings for food, as you do for those poor animals, which is altogether a different story.

If at all the government has allowed will you kill humans and eat?
I expect a big NO as your answer.

But you can't be blamed either.Because you consider your safety first and you don't want to offer your body for some one's dinner.

Assume if a person doesn't suffer any pain while killing or while getting hurt, Chances of humans becoming food are higher.

That is practical.Totally acceptable.

That's what happens when you kill a plant for food, you can't actually see if it's suffering.
But in Animals it is completely opposite.They are tortured and more to it you see them suffer.
That is where compassion dies.You allow something you can clearly prevent.

Also, In recent times I have seen people fighting for killing of lives

1.Killing/torturing animals for food.
2.Terrorist killing of innocent people.

with the former you want to kill it while in the later you don't want to. How is that fair? And isn't it an oxymoron? Both the cases involve the killing of innocent lives unnecessarily.

So if a human has the right to his life so does the animal. The extra senses for humans must be well utilized for protection from suffering and not for predatory ones, Be it for an animal or human.
