No forcing vegetarianism here mccoy just exposing what is only too obvious to a little spiritual sensitivity and follows the principles of Yama, or non injury to all creatures.
I totally respect your propensity toward Yama. I myself grew perhaps a little more callous with age and don't mind very much other people killing, as long as they don't interfere with my own regimen and ethical principles. The others will reap their bad karma. I don't mind. I just mind my own karma. That's my present attitude, which may be more or less wrong.
Since I feel and strong hunch that I was living in India in a recent incarnation and was bit by a cobra 🐍 and died at an early age, I also wonder about the karmic debt people accumulate from being cruel to animals. This incarnation so far, I’ve witnessed a tremendous urge for animals to get near me and I have made continues effort to be kind to them and not let others kill them for my eating habits. Having witnessed people that have dormant anger in them being attacked by animals I am increasingly interested in the apparent instinct or intuition of animals and other creatures.
