It is an outmoded tribal need that we have evolved out of. It is not the way of enlightenment.

The one has nothing to do with the other. Train a cat to be compassionate and she will still eat a mouse.

Compassion,in a nutshell,is human kindness expressed in a practical and real way to all creatures large and small.
Therefore,obviously,the killing of animals--our dear brothers and sisters of the animal kingdom--is a most heinous evil thing,and to profit from their killing by wearing trinkets or furs or alligator shoes,or merely for food on a plate is not something which the spiritually-attuned individual would ever countenance or condone. Amen.

Any time I come out in defense of animal rights a bunch of low level creeps attack me. Let's see if we can draw them out. I can see them attacking me for something that pissed them off, but this? Sad.
