HT 6k: Animal Killing Is Not Civilized

Animal Killing Is Not Civilized

Civilized men know the art of preparing nutritious foods from milk. For instance, on our New Vrindaban farm in West Virginia [and on the other ISKCON farms throughout the world], we make hundreds of first-class preparations from milk. Whenever visitors come, they are astonished that from milk such nice foods can be prepared. The blood of the cow is very nutritious, but civilized men utilize it in the form of milk. Milk is nothing but cow's blood transformed. You can make milk into so many things-yogurt, curd, ghee (clarified butter), and so on-and by combining these milk products with grains, fruits, and vegetables, you can make hundreds of preparations. This is civilized life-not directly killing an animal and eating its flesh.
