Namaste

Follwing my thoughts on animal slaughtering.

Where do all these souls come from and where do they go?

Years ago I met a Tibetean nun, she opend me an astonishing view: To be slaughtered is the animal‘s karma. Every vegetarian prevents that the animal‘s karma can be fulfilled.
Can this be a valid point?

When I came in contact with Tamils I wondered that they all eat meat. I asked one lady why? She told me that she is a shudra and she has to eat meat, it sounded like it’s a must.
Does vegetarianism depend on caste in India?

Anyhow, I think there must be a cosmic plan behind what happens to the animals. Otherwise it would not happen.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita II.11: ‚ … the wise do not lament for the dead and the living.‘

Krishna says these words to a kshatriya, whos dharma is to fight in the war, where humans and animals must be killed.

Would He say the same to a vegetarian in the sense of ‚eat meat, don‘t lament …‘?

Please share yours with me.

Thank you!
