Acharya Prashant explains that the distinction between vegetarianism and veganism is often misunderstood, as the dairy industry is inextricably linked to the meat and leather industries. He points out that cattle are exploited for milk through forced impregnation, and once they are no longer productive, their flesh and skin are used for meat and leather products. He emphasizes that the leather used in shoes and belts often comes from the same animals that provided milk, making the consumption of dairy a direct support for animal slaughter. Furthermore, he highlights the environmental impact, noting that the vast majority of global grain production and land clearing is dedicated to feeding livestock, which leads to habitat loss, species extinction, and climate change. Addressing the concept of violence and bodily compulsion, Acharya Prashant advises that one should not draw a fixed line on what is acceptable but should instead continuously challenge and push against the body's demands. He argues that the body will always have its own agenda for survival and comfort, and the spiritual task is to struggle against these compulsions to reduce harm. He asserts that even in medical situations, one should strive to avoid animal products, as modern technology allows for the factory production of necessary nutrients like B12 or taurine without resorting to animal slaughter. Regarding the domestication of animals, Acharya Prashant suggests that humans should avoid keeping pets that require meat, and if they do rescue such animals, they should utilize available vegan alternatives for their nutrition. He critiques the practice of domesticating wild animals, stating that they belong in their natural habitats rather than being kept for human pleasure. He concludes that the lack of public awareness regarding these issues is largely due to the immense financial power of the animal-based industries, which prevents such critical facts from being included in educational curricula.
