Why is it when we watch a lion kill and eat a baby zebra, ethics never comes into the picture.
I am a carnivore.As i munchy wunch on a thick juicy rare steak ethics has nothing to do with it.
To some,even non believers, His Holines the Dali Lama is a barometre of ethical behaivour. If He can eat meat and not fear the ethical dilemma, It's pretty safe to say it's ok....Now on the other hand when ever He is in said subject of eating he always points out that we should have the attitude that to thank the plants and animals we eat and pledge we shall try to further the common good with the energy they provide.
And as for meat he suggests moderation.
Now before someone ,if any, wishes to fluff off the Dali Lama as an ethical barometre i ask you. If the world needs such a person, who not better.
I'm sure He is cringing ...lol!He views Himself as a simple monk.
