No, I'm not a vegetarian. I like chicken and lamb. Fish is okay, but its important for health so we do eat it often. Beef is eaten once in a while in our home, not more than once or twice a month. I respect your idea of not eating animals, but there are certain animals that God created for us to eat. Cat's, dogs, birds, and other pets cannot be treated as livestock because they were not created to be food for humans. Every animal has a purpose of creation and God knows what is best for us and the animals and both of our needs. God hasn't forbade us from eating meat in any of the holy books sent by God, or through any of the prophets. This is my belief, and although I love lambs, goats, chickens, and other farm animals, I know that it is not a sin to consume their meat. It is a sin, however, to kill them if you are not using them for food. I love goats, lambs, etc. and would even like to have them as pets.............(if I had them as pets, no one would be allowed to eat them!) Anyway, hope I didn't offend anyone. This is how I feel.
