I have many questions around meat and population control… we have a farm with dairy and beef cattle, sheep, chickens, etc. Now the question on my mind most of recent… is with the bull calves and castrating… I mean even on the dairy cow side, you wouldn’t want the cow to be impregnated by it’s own calf…. there is the option of selling the calf… but having a calf yearly we would have a surplus of cows eventually….. our dairy cows love giving you milk…. they are grass-fed but look forward to it every morning. And what about barn cats and managing the cat population if they are not “broken” (aka known as “fixed”). And I will say, we have only butchered a few beef cows….this last cow walked right into the butcher… it was a bit melancholy but it is like he knew it was his job to do….it’s not like you didn’t love the cow, just like you love a plant, perhaps more love was giving to the cow than any plant….
And if animals always ate other animals?…. The wolves had to survive, did they always eat other animals… so then where were they obtaining their source of food, if all the animals in it’s domain are friends, from a neighbor’s domain?…. and is it different if we eat the animal verses a wolf eating an animal….
And plants are alive, have feelings are part of the universe no different than an animal…. so how is sacrificing a plant for food different than an animal….
Adam was given the job to determine the purpose for all animals…. so what was the purpose of cows, goats, sheep…. it doesn’t talk about it in the books that I recall, other than not knowing the purpose of goats.
And if energy is never wasted, would not the animal be reincarnated as well, which is why Native Americans had rituals when killing an animal….. Many thoughts to ponder….
