I have received multiple comments referencing the Bible and eating animals. Think about this:

God created Adam & Eve, they were gifted the Garden of Eden with all the fruit and plants they needed to be healthy & happy. They were to care for all of God’s creatures. 1/
Once they committed sin God banished from paradise & into barren land. God told them they will break their backs to grow plants. They will be diseased. They had to bring animal sacrifices for their sins. God called them greedy when they begged for meat & punished them even more2/
Jesus then made the ultimate sacrifice for humans sins. The New Testament speaks of sacrifice a few times but it was no longer required due to Jesus’ sacrifice. It is interesting that paradise was filled with everything to thrive: plants, good health and happiness...3/
...until humans were punished with disease, hunger, sadness, violence, poverty, floods, wars, division.

Metaphorically speaking, of course.
A book written about 3400 years ago painted a dysfunctional & toxic world that is very prevalent today.

My point was we can do better.
