I think Ramadoss the opinion which you refer to may have been Aiden's ....
My view was that vegetarianism should be standard recommended and
encouraged with the hope through education that meat consumption will fall
off... Aiden suggested humane killing for food. I can appreciate his point
as the slaughter house mass killing of animals to me is unsupported. I
don't think that's what Aiden would advocate anyway.  - Art
