Vegetarianism today
In honor of the Rabbi:
The rabbi wrote (https://mikyab.net/posts/2357#_ftn1; https://mikyab.net/%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA/%D7%A2%D7%9C-%D7%98%D7%91%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%AA) that nowadays there is a complete prohibition on assisting the animal food industry.
Why is the IZ included in the definition of the Poskim (1744, 315; Ramat Abe’a 315) that tseb’ah for a need is permitted, and since today’s need is greater (quantitatively), the industrial route is defined as tseb’ah for a need?
Furthermore, according to the Rabbi, why is there no prohibition on buying in places that sell meat, when in fact meat is indirectly sold to people (despite the Poskim’s view that the prohibition of tseb’ah includes an active command to prevent harm (the Mitzvah (Mitzvah P’) linked this to the dispute over whether tseb’ah is from the Torah or from the Rabbis)).
Thank you very much!
Using animals for our needs is permissible. But not torturing them. There is a big gap between the torture they go through and our level of need.
The question of how far to go with this prohibition is difficult. Some people will take root, and when most people eat meat, it’s hard to say that there is a prohibition against buying from a store that also sells meat. But it certainly seems to me that it’s better to buy from another store.
Apparently, according to the words of the rabbis, although objectively this seems like torture, in the halakhic definition it is a necessary act, since there is no way to provide the requested amount of meat in any other way without this torture?
