Dear Rick, I do know Biblical Hebrew. I did study and practice Torah for 6 years.
Do you think it is morally right to cause unnecessary suffering and death to conscious and feeling beings?
Eating
animal products is causing world starvation. The plants that 56 billion
of animals innocently killed each year are eating could feed more than 9
billion people.
"“Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless.
Christmas dinner's dark and blue. When you stop and try to see it From
the turkey's point of view. Sunday dinner isn't sunny. Easter feasts are
just bad luck. When you see it from the viewpoint of a chicken or a
duck. Oh how I once loved tuna salad Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
Till I stopped and looked at dinner From the dinner's point of view.”
Shel Silverstein "Animals do not 'give' their life to us, as the
sugar-coated lie would have it . . . They struggle and fight to the last
breath, just as we would do if we were in their place." [John Robbins]
Torah is promoting taking the life of innocent animals and people (e.g. the ancestors of Amalek).
