Meat eating is a natural thing, Eaten one to other its nature. and its control nature so don;t any body try to go out of nature.
Meat eating for animals (tiger eats Deer) is natural but not for human being. We are vegetarian like cows. Kiling by humans are called sinful job. We should not support any type of killing. Just for taste (tongue) - the killing is senseless act.
