EAT NO MEAT

Eating the meat that is obtained by killing is gross stupidity. It is the direct opposite of the doctrine of compassion to kill the doctrine of non-killing by eating meat and thereby encouraging others to kill. To make other people break the law against killing life cannot be consistent with compassion.

There is no sense therefore in those who would not themselves kill eating the meat that is necessarily obtained by killing.This is obviously a protest against the eating of meat practised by persons professing to be adherents of the law of non-killing, and an answer to those who argue that dietary rules should not be mixed up with compassion of virtues of the mind.
