Give Me a Break:
“Just because the Torah says “You may eat meat” does not mean “You SHALL eat meat.”
I see i’m trailing along the lost momentum of this post,
but i’d like to address the aforementioned comment you made.
We are supposed to eat kosher animals as to give them their tikkun & bring them to
a higher madregah on the ladder of Domeim, Tzo’meach, Chai, M’daber, Yehudi,
by reciting the blessing on them & eating them we are doing them a great
spiriual kindness, thus achieving (one) of their
purposes. (This a Chassidic & Kabbalistic approach) however i assume the latter
would sit well with you. (you seem to be from the “i’m spiritual type”)
I say this with the highest regard.
As for peta, they put animals at a higher level than humans
thus totally missing the boat, like a certain furer Y”S V’zichro
making their actual agenda twisted & wrong.
