For many Hindus, it is a textually-advocated belief in ahimsa (nonviolence),[17] to avoid indulgences (as meat was considered an indulgence), and to reduce bad Columbus Epicurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554487593239432221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325967.post-80851618320294523562007-04-18T15:51:00.000-04:002007-04-18T15:51:00.000-04:00My original column was written to point out my vie...My original column was written to point out my view of how PETA overreacts to perceived threats to animals. They are lobbying Indianapolis city council to ban horse-drawn carriages because of the danger they present to horses. But I contend the horses are in no more danger than the people riding in the carriages. And yet, PETA says nothing about that. If it's reasonably safe for the riders, then Jerry Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466226925773904805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325967.post-10478812145843740792007-04-18T01:14:00.000-04:002007-04-18T01:14:00.000-04:00"an animal life": I see you met my last post wi..."an animal life":<BR/> I see you met my last post with skepticism. We seem to have two very different views on the way animals are turned into food. Likely, we are both wrong on something and right on others so lets see what we can do to get closer to the actual truth of the matter since this seems to be an important topic to the both of us. <BR/><BR/>Canada and the USA do have higher Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527179895797800911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325967.post-48821967382741621272007-04-17T00:15:00.000-04:002007-04-17T00:15:00.000-04:00Jerry,Very well said.
