Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dear Nilesh, In my opinion, Manoj has answered for all of us. I am not perfect in my approach just as most others, individuals and organisations. There are certainly issues that need to be highlighted and I thank you again for raising this. However there is no yardstick for what is acceptable, personally and professionally. As Manoj succinctly says, we should agree and cooperate wherever possible.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Organisations alone should not be permitted to qualify as policy makers on this issue. Please include the voices of ordinary commoners like me on this as well. My view: " Vegetarian to begin with, but with a pledge to turn Vegan asap " . This is not too difficult a task if one wants to work for the upliftment of animals and treat them with respect and dignity.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I quiet agree with Azam's views. We not only should educate ppl to turn vegan but also tell them the reason as to why it would be beneficial for everything.......while browsing the net i found this news item that might shed light as to why we should turn vegan if not a full-fledged veggie...On the basis of this article we can tell ppl how imp is it to turn veggie/vegan for the sake of sustaining our planet and the life that it encompasses! Apart frm that I guess eating a fellow living creature is just not very 'appeasing'! In the words of Albert Schweitzer, 'The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another, even the lowliest creature; to do so is to renounce our manhood and shoulder a guilt which nothing justifies. " http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4717521.cms GO vegetarian once a week29 June 2009, 10:44pm IST Eat one less meat-based meal a week will help not only the planet but also your diet. It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef.
