Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of animal slaughter, particularly in the context of religious festivals like Bakrid. He highlights the staggering scale of animal killing globally, noting that humans slaughter billions of land animals and trillions of fish annually. He acknowledges the argument that if one consumes meat throughout the year, they lack the moral standing to criticize slaughter on a specific day. He emphasizes that opposition to meat-eating should be consistent across all 365 days of the year, as the cruelty inflicted on animals has devastating effects on nature and humanity itself.
