Namaste,

 

Then why not eat your pet human, dog, or cat then. What is the

difference. As far as Native Indians go, it is my experience that

hunting is unnecessary. There are even supermarkets in the arctic. So

why continue with an unnecessary culture?

 

It indicates extreme attachment or addiction to meat. This indicates a

n underdeveloped spiritual awareness or vijnanamayakosa...ONS Tony.
