I found this very helpful. I was vegetarian for many years. I feel the need to stop killing animals for my palate. 🙏

Then there's always Ted Nugent's take, which is basically hunting, killing, eating deer and other animals is a spiritual God given right. Sure he's just a stupid 70's guitar player. Much different outlook than fast food.

I buy vegetarian burgers . There are some good ones sold now. You can make some homemade ones with black beans and spices. It is a good way to practice ahimsa- Gandhi’s practice of non-violence. While avoiding the needless slaughter of animals and helping the environment as well. As everyone knows we practice kindness to all creatures here at spiritualportal and non violence. The practice of violence to living creatures is discouraged here at the portal as it not only creates bad karma for oneself but also affects us negatively in a spiritual sense….and our country.

‘The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by its treatment to animals.’

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Kelly, I think it's important to listen to your mind and body. It's your life. <3

I did not know that.

That is your opinion, there are those who believe that hunting itself is a spiritual journey. It's not up to anyone else to tell them it is bad karma and negative. It works for them. Just like whatever works for you works for you.

Agreed SI!

I enjoy learning survival skills which includes hunting and respecting nature! I don't disrespect others for their choice, having practiced a vegetarian lifestyle myself for about 2 years.

One aspect of Sufism is tolerance for all sincere paths.
