The concept that you are not ingesting rotting flesh sort of sums it up for me.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

King of the animals - as thou hast described him - I should rather say king of the beasts, thou being the greatest - because thou hast spared slaying them, in order that they may give thee their children for the benefit of the gullet, of which thou hast attempted to make a sepulchre for all animals; and I would say still more, if it were allowed me to speak the entire truth .

Man and the animals are merely a passage and channel for food, a tomb for other animals, a haven for the dead, giving life by the death of others, a coffer full of corruption.

To become vegetarian is to step towards the stream which leads to nirvana.

Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
