Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shaheediyan" data-source="post: 56374" data-attributes="member: 2867">Randip Singh Ji, I am not talking about modern cultures where meat is avaiable for pennies, I am talking about societies before the onset of factory farming, as close as 40 years ago, things were a lot different. By luxury, I am insinuating that meat was not part of the daily diet.  You can do some research to check this, prior to factory/mass farming, growing an animal was resource and time intensive, the animal had a value, unlike today. Meat was therefore eaten consideratly i.e. once a week, this was true in most cultures.  Today is a different story, greed and demand are strife. Kudos to KDS, the fishing commnities were an exception. "the people who consume the meat of cows and buffaloes are doing a big favour on the environment of india by consuming useless cows and buffaloes." However, that is a very poor justification arguement, the demand for meat eaters is not satisfied through consuming "useless" animals, rainforests, eco-systems etc are destroyed to satisfy the ever growing "daily" demand for meat.  The cattle population is only so stupidly huge because of mans monstrous greed. I have no problem with people eating meat, but it should be done with consideration to our environment. Andone point that wasn't address, and never is by Sikh meat eaters... where is the guarantee that meat isn't halaal or been killed in monstrous conditions, and what happened to Jatka??? There is no point mentioning cars etc, although true, this discussion is about meat.  In any case, you could use public transport like I do, switch to a green energy supplier, buy an electric car, or convert your diesel to bio-fuel and use vegetable oil for fuel, which competely reduces carbon emission.</blockquote>
