Answer:
Vegetarians chose to not eat any types of meat or seafood because of the obvious reason that it is a sin to take lives from animals.
Animals have feelings just like household cats and dogs. These animals are slaughtered so terribly and treated so horibbly that anyone who saw this behavior would resort to being vegetarian.
"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian," says former beatles member, Paul McCartney
He became a strict vegetarian after seeing orphaned sheep at a farm.
Many other famous people are vegetarian like:
-Paul McCartney
-Madonna
-Albert Einstein
-George Bernard Shaw
-Thomas Alva Edison
-Benjamin Franklin
-Hayden Panettiere
-Mark Twain
-Leo Tolstoy
-Alice Walker
Animals are treated so badly that people are starting to really take a look at what's on their plates. Animals are injected with many drugs and hormones which enter your body when consuming a piece of meat. Also, in some religions, eating flesh of any animal or fish is a huge sin.
Here is a list of some religions that do not allow the eating of meat:
-Hinduism
-Buddhism
-Christianity( in the past)
-Jainism
-Islam
-Chinese folk and Daoism
Hinduism is probably the religion that really expresses the ban on eating any sort of flesh because of karma. The karma rule is "if you sow, shall you reap." This means that if you do something, it will affect you in return.
So if you eat meat, then that very meat will give you infectious diseases and body harm.
This is why many Indians in India are vegetarian.
We were never born to eat meat because we are natural herbivores. Some facts that prove this are:
-we suck water like herbivores do instead of lapping it like cats and dogs
-our teeth are flat in the back so we can crush and grind nuts and fruits
unliked carnivores who only have sharp teeth to rip apart flesh
-our intestines are 10 times as long while carnivores are 3 times as long because the dead and decaying flesh can't stay in the body of a carnivore for too long.
-our saliva is alkaline like herbivores, while carnivores saliva is acidic.
Which animals are the largest on the earth?
Elephants, gorillas, horses, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, bulls... they are all vegetarian.
Animals are our friends...they shall not be eaten.
We do not have the instinct to rip an animal to shreads...so we don't have the ability to eat the flesh that comes with it.
Live and let live.
