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 …
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.

Vegans can legitimately say “I think that’s wrong, so even if I’m evolved for it, I’m not doing it.” But if one eats meat, I think one should face the raw, bloody, horrifying implications of it.

Killing is not easy, unless you have worked to deaden yourself to the suffering of other beings. It can be horrible, exhilarating, and sacred, simultaneously. That is the raw material of Vajrayana Buddhism
