Peace and blessings,
Is it appropriate to refrain from eating geese for reasons of safety (their fattening, etc.)?
Kind regards, Benjamin

Absolutely. It is appropriate to avoid eating animals in general.

Hahaha, a vegetarian rabbi?
(I asked specifically about geese, as we know, are abused in captivity…)

מיכי Staff replied 5 years ago

Yes (unfortunately not strong enough to be vegan). Other animals for food are also subjected to severe abuse.

What is the ideology behind veganism?
I understand if we talk about the abuse that animals go through, but there are those who don't eat free-range eggs or milk from a cow because they own it, etc. Do you also connect with such things?

not

If there was a law that it was forbidden to eat dairy products, the rabbi would probably be strict about it.
So why is it related to morality, isn't it? Does morality have a lower status than the law in your opinion (when there is no contradiction between the values)?
Or are you claiming that, following the instinct, there is no sufficient moral problem in this?

There's one thing I didn't understand. If abuse is considered a crime, isn't murder considered a crime? The wonders of religious failures.

When you get to hell you will realize that abuse is worse.

Thanks for the offer to visit you there, but I'll pass.

When there is a certain rule, there is a long tradition of how to deal with it. But in the case of Barrush, it is also a matter of habit and how much it is embedded in you. Beyond that, there is also the question of how significant it is (when I eat dairy products, the contribution to the overall damage is negligible).

It never occurred to me to suggest that you criticize me. I'm not that cruel…
In the first or second section at most you'll understand the matter. You won't need to delve any deeper.
