Non-vegetarians against Narendra Modi

in the year 2015, when vegetarian foodstuffs can be produced abundantly and efficiently, there is little justification for eating meat; it is more natural to be vegetarian, and to ban the rearing and kiling of animals for food, especially when doing so commercially encourages cruelty to animals.

there are precedents for banning the sale of meats even in the u.s. for example, in nearly all the states, it is illegal to sell cat or dog meat.

(I suppose, the primary reason for such laws in the u.s. is to prevent the stealing of pets for consumption; but I don't see the difference between cruelty to cats and dogs, and cruelty to lambs, cows, and chickens.)

in other words, it is not an outlandish idea to ban the sale of meat in any part or all of india.

lots of farmers sell their cows to others knowing that it's going to end up on someone's table. they ca't take away other peoples livelihood. but this is happening only in Maharashtra right?
