Animal killing is condemned!

Verse 1.7.37:
* Here Srila Prabhupada is condemning animal slaughter. Here, Krishna is also telling that a person who is very cruel, who lives by killing another person, must be sentenced to death, in order to save him from hellish reactions to his utrocious deeds.
* If a person kills 300 people, then he will take birth 300 times and he will be cruelly killed 300 times. That is the law of Karma.
* This is so, even for animals. As long as we kill animals, we kill children. Manu smriti says
- who licenses - who kills the animal
are all part of the punishment for killing the animal. It is definite.
* This is continuing now, so see what would be the state after 30-40 years.
* So SP is writing that meat eating is condemned by sastra.
* Vegetarianism is the way to go here. If everyone becomes a vegetarian in this world, then there will such a ecological stability that most of the problems on our planet will vanish away.
* Prabhuji also discussed the disadvantages of meat eating and how our body physically is not suited for eating meat.
* Karma is collective too, we have to share the karma of the country too.

* For us to come out of all this, we need to leave the cycle of birth and death. And how do we do this, by simply and sincerely chanting the Hare Krishna Maha mantra and taking shelter of Krishna.
