cruelty to animals

Tweet

We are considered the wisest creatures on earth , aren't we the cruellest as well? I became a vegetarian 5 years back for this very reason. Is it not a sin to kill anyone irrespective of whether its a human or an animal? I always has this in mind but my temptation for the taste didn't let me to stop eating flesh for years.But at last I decided and turned into a true vegetarian. A tiger is born to eat flesh,its digestive system can't digest anything else , but we have options,so why should we stress on eating flesh.Killing an animal just for taste,its nothing less than a henious activity.We are not living in the stone age when people had very few options. We have developed so much but we can't leave the urge for eating fleshing a shame on us.In cultures where dead body is considered as impure and people take bath after the last rituals ,also don't hesitate when it comes to kllling animals for food.What are they eating ,an impure dead body?So much is done after we die so that our soul tests in peace,why can't we show the same feeling to animals.The same cruelty is shown when we kill animals for money , or example , elephants for their teeth.Are we really the wisest creatures on earth.? Why does our emotions die in case of animals? Are we really civilised? I don't think so.
