Recently, a very heated debate about vegetarianism gave me an opportunity to look into the lens of a vegetarian- making me wonder why one gives up eating meat and calls it the right thing to do ethically. I also wondered what happened to the concept of 'circle of life' and the 'food chain'- arent we all dependent on each other to live amicably?
I, for one cannot see myself be a 100% vegetarian, but the point is, does that make me an irresponsible and a inconsiderate human being? No Sir!!!! not in my opinion. Dating back all the way to the biblical days, God made man superior to all his creation, the ruler of all things around him. Ever wondered what Man did then - farming? nope! he was a hunter by nature- he hunted animals for food and used it's skin to protect his body and with evolution and self- realization came an understanding that he can grow his own crop as well and that is where the concept of vegetarian came.
In conclusion, I would like to add, I love animals as much as I would any living thing but a man's got eat when he's got to eat. ;)
