    Well people who eat meat shouldn't let others do the dirty work. Kill the animal yourself and see how appetising it is. I do it with fish and as quick as possible.

    We r in world to protect them not to finish them that we must care. Do u think so?

    +Jendhamuni Sos I don't think I ever become 100 % vegetarian but my meals are overall healthy and responsible. I was fishing tonight, knife went through the gill and broke the neck over in 1 second. Oh I don't make any apologies but don't believe in animal cruelty. Keeping fish in a tank is like keeping a bird in a cage. Quoting Shaka Zulu when he was explained the incarceration system of England Oh that is what I call cruel. +Bakul Sonavane

    I know it's hard, and would not expect everyone to go one hundred percent, +Charles van Dijk Reducing the consumption amount is good for me already. Everything takes time.

    If we werent meant to eat meat we would have no requirements for teeth perhaps a second stomach would be more usefull to us

    Charles keeping fish in tanks means i protect them from like u who enjoys fishing. And i feel honor to do it.

  9. Charles van Dijk

    February 20, 2013

    +Bakul Sonavane Well if I were a fish I would prefer the ocean or a river and take my changes. I don't enjoy fishing I do it for food. I don't like people with a holier than you attitude as a rule they are first class hypocrites.

    I love animals… Right beside my mashed potatoes and gravy…

    I don't believe in animal cruelty, but I also don't believe animals are on par with humans. I've opened many an animal in my life and eaten all the ones that I've shot. What's more cruel, a harsh winter in Canada or sitting in a nice warm freezer?

    I'm having compassion on the Foxes and coyotes! They need something to eat, so why not the entrails of a deer?

    I loved also my Rottweiler (he was put to sleep 10 years ago) also he was not a vegetarian (lots of animals are carnivores) including the 2 specimen above. The area we used to live there were plenty of feral goats, yes feral animals are a disaster for the ecosystem. Hunting to give Fritz his meat was an economical option and a bonus for the environment. Well that was sometimes cruel, you place the bullet somewhere between the neck and the stomach yes goats don't stand still. After being hit they run for 50 meters before being caught by the dog. These experiences made me to become a photographer of wildlife same thing but animals survive. Feral animals yes they need to be eradicated but this job is best done by professionals not something I like to do for a hobby in my spare time.

    It looks as if that poor kitten is very constipated, or actually pooping; one.

    I don't love animals.. I eat and kill animals.
    However, I love pets… i don't eat or kill pets, I train them to eat and kill animals.

    I don't make friends with bacon, that would just be counter-productive!

  17. Charles van Dijk

    February 20, 2013

    +Alexander Sierra That is correct, here it is a matter of how many kangaroos need to be shot to keep a dog and a cat fed during their lives.

    so just cuz i luv animals, i have to become vegan?

    Is it cruel to kill a cockroach?(I'm not being funny or sarcastic)

  20. David Gary

    February 20, 2013

    +Charles van Dijk I think this post is based on whether an animal causes you physical harm or not.It's rare for a person to be killed by a leopard,but it's common for a person to be "bitten" by a mosquito or cockroaches contaminate a person's food.

    Animals are your friends So please sleep with SNAKE AND LION.
    I am muslim I love animals. But I love ALLAH (GOD) TOO MUCH. So I follow HIS (GOD) Order.
    Note: Only eat HALAL (Allow by ALLAH/GOD) animals not HARAM (Disallow by ALLAH/GOD)

  23. David Gary

    February 20, 2013

    +Jendhamuni Sos I don't personally think it's wrong to have a little meat,but the way that they're mutilated does seem inhumane.Plus it's better for your health to eat more vegetables.There needs to be a balance because many neglect fruits and vegetables altogether.

    They are adorable! God gave us dominion over the animals, but we shouldn't abuse them.

    You are a Great Lover… Animal lovers are a special breed of humans, generous of spirit, full of empathy, perhaps a little prone to sentimentality, and with hearts as big as a cloudless sky….

    That cat looks like it has mental disabilities.

  28. David Gary

    February 20, 2013

    +Mary Elizabeth Nerren I agree with you that humans shouldn't abuse animals.But I think eating a piece of meat isn't abuse because the animal kingdom does it.Basic survival

  32. Mary Elizabeth Nerren

    February 20, 2013

    +David Gary I am not a vegetarian, and I agree with you. Meat is nutritious. (within reason) But I do not agree with pet owners abusing their animals JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN, or people hunting just for fun and not for food JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. but I do agree with you there.

  33. Mary Elizabeth Nerren

    February 20, 2013

    +Samuel Neumann I don't disagree with hunting if it is for food, but when people kill animal after animal and just leave it   somewhere, it makes my blood boil.

    True.Some hunters only hunt to boost their self-esteem,but a real hunter knows when to draw the line.No one should be able to hunt merely because they can and have the money to do so.

    what ever it is…puppies are very cute!
    There are many jokes about this another -crasy..
    Democrasy-
    where horse and grass are blessed with equal rights..and in any case innocent animals are much much better than ARISTOTLE'S social animal!!! And naturally this animal's
    hunger is greater than the real ones.. and Please..
    remember
    a dust particle also is a part of the creation..
    giving dusk and dawn a very different- very unique hues or let me say.. identity.. from day and night…in this context veg or non-veg issue sounds very rediculous!

  37. Samuel Neumann

    February 20, 2013

    +Mary Elizabeth Nerren Same with me here, but you have to realize that there aren't a whole lot of people who do that. Liberals and leftist paint hunters as such when, in reality, there are just about no hunters that kill and leave the dead animal. Most hunters hunt for food. I've only ever come across one dead carcass in my hunting life (eight years) and it was because the deer ran onto some private property and the hunters (probably) couldn't find it. The birds ate it anyway.

  45. Shecoria Akins

    February 20, 2013

    im not a vegie the reason why is because its un healthy hey if u have have a problem with that blame the devil or adam and eve because they created sin. Which is the ONLY reason why we eat animals today.

  46. David Monroe

    February 20, 2013

    I would never be friends with a bison, or cow, or chicken for that matter.  Intelligence is too low.  Wouldn't be friends with a cat either, so I guess I can eat all of those.

    No, not Dog or Cat… Beef? Poultry? Venison? Seafood? Pork?

    Yes, yes, yes, yes, and uh, yes…

    If we where not supposed to eat meat then why does it taste so good. Nothing wrong with it, hunting and what not for sport is wrong. But taking what you need? Nothing at all wrong with that…

    I love my "pets" and others as well (Even though allergic to cat/dog hair and dander). Cats and dogs are carnivores, not vegetarian which is where this seems headed. Mr Shaw and his generalist point of view is just that a point of view or opinion. Simple, don't befriend dinner. Keep it informal and visit the butcher, grocery store and remember Tabby or Fido need meat and some humans prefer it as well. I respect the fact the animals I eat where vegetarians.

  84. Shannon Walker

    I only wanted to say something funny, but To answer your question, 
    Pets aren't just animals. Be technical all you want. My pet is my comrade, my companion, my best friend. I know for a fact that she would sacrifice her very life to save mine and for that, she has taught me a valuable lesson in what loyalty means. She's a beautiful mixed canine who has imitated my habits and has come accustomed to my moods. If I am sad… she lays next to me, if I am angry she gives me a concerned look or acts that way. An animal runs with instinct and could care less about your feelings and would rather live its kill or be killed life than keep you company through good and bad times. Try not seeing things with such a shallow and direct point of view. Not everything can be black and white or simplified, especially nature. That bitch should be respected.

Live & Die for Buddhism

Me & Grandma

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
