As a carnivorous Buddhist, I believe I should personally kill the animals I eat. I am ashamed that I have rarely done so.https://twitter.com/JessieSunPsych/status/954477297511284736 …
It’s influenced by my understanding of Buddhism… but I know of no version of Buddhism that says this. All brands of Buddhism say killing is extremely wrong and you shouldn’t do it. But many say eating meat is OK, which I find inconsistent.

Vajrayana Buddhism is, however, about coming into contact with the rawness and intensity of reality; primal experiences.

Killing is a fundamental human activity, just as sex and work and parenting are. We’re evolved for it; our brains are specialized for it.

Better to do evil than to have others do evil on your behalf.
