It seems that the ethical issue associated with eating meat has shifted from "suffering" to the "health of the planet." We may still be talking about Sikhism, but we should explain why.BTW;Bison herds were not exterminated in order to destroy Native American cultures and peoples. They were exterminated to make way for the railroads - and to settle the American west. Yes this did have a negative impact on Native Americans but so did the Winchester rifle, small pox, veneral disease, and alcohol. Once again the 5 Thieves at work - and not necessarily the result of eating meat, keeping cows for milk, or shooting a goat or wild boar.</blockquote>
