well some one pointed at animals eating veg to gain fat and be strong

 

the mightiest of them all Elephant is proof of both a trusted creature, manoth,

strong, peaceful LONG LIVED, revered a status symbolk of the Royals

 

rathen than the animlas that eat flesh to stay a scare and also have a shorter

life span.

 

and satvik nature of the grass eating animals is well proven and it can help the

only discreneing of mamals use such energies for spiritual growth as well.
