I have to ask...vj...A plant is a living entity....an animal is a living entity...why is an animal more important then a plant?...It takes life to support life...plant or animal...there is no difference. I do believe in the emotions being stored energetically in the body...If the animal in question is not diseased and has lived a mostly natural life, how different is this from a plant that we pick from a garden?
Native North Americans, at one time , would thank the spirit of the animal for it`s body after they had ended it`s life on this plane...They were respectful and thankful of it`s sacrifice, thankful that the sacrifice of the animal allowed them to continue living...My problem with humanity, is that we are so far removed from the responsibility of what we take from the world that we have become gluttonous on all levels...Look at our environment. The planet gives us life, tries to recycle what we throw at it, and were so irresponsible as a species, that we bury it in garbage so quickly that it cannot keep up...The planet truly is "our mother"..this is the respect we give her...shameful...
I have little guilt in eating meat, as i am always aware that another has sacrificed so that i can be sustained.
I was raised on a farm...You see birth and death on a constant basis on a farm...one witnesses suffering through this experience...it has a different meaning for me, than it does for someone who walks into a grocery store and thinks meat to be the creation of the butcher shop....plants die when you pick them,they wither and rot and turn into dust....eventually, and so do animals...same process...If you are living and breathing and reading this...it`s because another living thing has made the sacrifice for you to be here in this moment...be it plant or animal...

RJ I'm Impressed . Knowing how much you love animals
I'd never had thought you'd eat meat. I do support your thoughts
about plant life and how the earth recycles itself. I remember a
famous show host talking out about killing animals for food. He was
asked where did he think his leather shoes came from.
Hi Bridget,
lol...yeah I`ve met people like that too...
You`re right in the fact that I love being with animals... I am an animal too, come to think of it, my brain is just a little bigger than my other animal friends. I try to connect with them in my free time....wild animals that is...and no, i do not hunt, I have not done so for the last 30 years, because i do not have to. I love plants/flowers too...I eat those also...plants are alive/animals are alive...I eat them both.
When I eat meat i actually think of the animal that died so I can be sustained...giving thanks...sincerely. I have no guilt in this, as a Grizzly Bear or a Cougar, Tiger, Lion etc, would have no guilt in killing and eating me. We are the same in this...Some would say...."Well they have to do this". Well so do I... Going to the grocery store is just a way of getting someone else to do your killing for you, that`s all, separates you from what you truly take from the planet and others to sustain yourself. If you eat meat and dislike those who hunt, and kill their own food, be it plant or animal, you are not in touch with what you take from the planet...To me such is the same for those who eat vegetarian and dislike meat eaters. They have watched too much Walt Disney and have forgotten the true nature of this world, and their roots to nature. Everyone seems to think, regardless of what they say, that life is over when they leave their body, so all this fear and repulsion is generated towards death....To me it`s just another transition, like birth. Beginnings and endings travel together...attachment to things causes pain and suffering...Hmmm...sounds a slight bit Buddhist to me...A Buddhist will try and avoid stepping on an ant cause it`s a pointless death, disrespectful of life, reincarnation and all, but they eat plants, and some eat meat...with respect...Why can`t I?
I`m not a city boy...I`m firmly rooted in my connection to our past, running in the woods, and sustaining myself through my NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, and the rest of the Universe for that matter. Hate me if you wish, for eating meat. I will throw compassion to another who is rooted in the delusional supremacy in vegetarianism. I`m more inclined to condemn the destruction of natural environments, than those who kill to sustain themselves, which includes all of us by the way, directly, or indirectly.

We all make choices in life that's
different from our fellow wo/man.
Folks who choose to eat meat have
that right . We are not the judge
of others only ourselves.
