Acharya Prashant explains that killing an animal for personal taste or entertainment is fundamentally wrong, but doing so in the name of religion is ten times worse. He argues that while ordinary food poisoning is bad, it is far more dangerous when the medicine itself—which religion is supposed to be for humanity—becomes poisonous. He emphasizes that violence committed under the guise of religious belief is an extreme transgression because religion's true purpose is to lead humans toward non-violence and liberation from selfishness. Since humans are born naturally selfish and violent, religion should be the force that saves them from these tendencies rather than encouraging them through rituals of slaughter. Addressing the argument that animal sacrifice is justified because the meat is distributed to the poor, Acharya Prashant dismisses this logic as flawed. He points out that meat is an expensive and inefficient source of nutrition compared to other foods. If one truly wishes to help the poor, the resources spent on meat could be better used to provide essential needs like education, clothing, or more nutritious vegetarian food. He suggests that giving meat to the poor is often just a way for people to wash away the guilt of violence from their own hands. True charity should focus on what the recipient actually needs for their well-being rather than imposing a senseless and violent tradition upon them.
