I respect your decision to be a veggie; it is such a tough decision for those who have been non-veg and whose mouth water when they hear of MoMos, Mashu-bhat, and chuwela-baji.

let me correct you...she's a 'non-veg'...which is why what she has said is so contradictory...

Hey but I want to make one thing clear that I haven't compared the butcher with the sacrifice. I mean to say that when the butcher kill the animal, this is their business & they are doing this to make an earning & they are not making any excuses. But when we are giving sacrifice then our ultimate aim is to eat the flesh but instead we invole the name of God & say we are doing this for GOD after doing this God will become happy & all those things, we are just making excuses. This is our tradition but the tradition is also made by the people only & if any tradition is wrong, we people have to change this too.

Khusboo, I'm glad you've differentiated between the principles behind sacrificing and the actual act of killing...

I don't think I agree with what you're saying. people are sacrificing animals as a way of pleasing god...it's more of a reason. The butchers don't sacrifice, they kill, that's their reason, they aren't making excuses that they are killing animals for the sake of god. Whereas normal people don't need to make excuses to justify/validate their doing because they don't see it as it being a wrong doing. It's not wrong in their eyes, therefore they don't need to make excuses.

Keep us updated about your path towards vegetarianism...hopefully it's not some empty words for the sake of this topic
