Transcript

00:00If you eat animal flesh, you cannot justify it by saying that a lion or a wolf too kills other animals to eat.

00:10A lion or a wolf has no option to not to kill.

00:15You have that option.

00:16Man is not necessarily a herbivore.

00:19Man is more of an omnivore.

00:21Therefore that option is there.

00:23You could have decided to not to kill but you chose in favor of killing.

00:28Therefore you will be punished.

00:29A lion is never punished because the lion had no option.

00:32A lion has done nothing wrong.

00:34In fact even if a lion kills a human being, really it has not committed a crime.

00:40That's how lions are.

00:41They are supposed to kill to eat.

00:43But if a man needlessly kills an animal, then the man will be punished.

00:49If not by law, then by existence.

00:52A human being is a decision maker.

00:54A human being is someone who has a choice.

00:57Choose very very carefully.
