What some people are saying is basically: ''
The whole world is ignorant, except India..''
That's an ethnocentric view.
And even in that place people were hunters for quite a long time..
So again you're saying: ''
Only in the last 10.000+ years has spirituality changed it course.''
Killing the cow is considered a bigger sin than killing other animals. And, the domestic cow is a new kid on the block.. =/
Humans have eaten meat for hundreds of thousands of years.. our bodies are omnivore. If 'God' wanted us to be a herbivore we would've been one!
Again it's cultural morals that are presented as universal fact.
It comes down to ethics, and ethics are subjective!
