Prabhupāda: Kidnappers. They kidnap and they slaughter, and mix with other meat. It becomes very tasteful. In hotel, one body found of a finger of a child. In Kanpur.
Devotee (3): Some social scientists were saying that in twenty years cannibalism will be as acceptable among the society as illicit sex is now.
Prabhupāda: Yes. They will do that. Because people are degrading. They are not advancing.
Prajāpati: When we tell them to stop their sinful activities, they will say: "What do you mean by sinful?"
Prabhupāda: Sinful means, generally, what is against the law of God. That is sinful. Just like what is criminal? Any action which is against the law of the state, that is criminal. Similarly, sinful means what is against the law of God. That is sinful. But you do not know what is God. You do not know what is the law of God. Therefore you do not know what is sin. That you have to learn from us. It is all due to ignorance. Now God says: "I am the father of all living entities." So this is quite reasonable. If there is God . . . so . . . and it is stated in the Vedic literature, nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). He is the chief eternal. So we are all sons of God. What we are? Simply human being? No. In the Bhagavad . . . sarva-yoniṣu (BG 14.4): "In all species of life, as many forms are there, I am the bīja-pradaḥ-pitā." So everyone is your brother. So suppose if you want to cut throat of your brother, will your father be happy?
Devotee: No.
Prabhupāda: So because you are not God conscious you are doing all this nonsense. You do not know who is father; therefore you cut throat, your brother. (break) . . . that those who are eating vegetable, they are also killing. That's a fact. But God says that, "You can eat this." God says. By nature. Just like the animal, they will eat these leaves, the grass. Nature. But they will not eat meat. Tena tyaktena (ISO 1). Whatever God dictates, "Now you eat this," he is eating. But you give him meat, no, he will not eat.
So whatever you are allotted, you should eat. That is God's law, that after all, one has to eat. So what you will eat? Everything is living. Therefore allotted. You are allotted, "These things is allotted for you. You eat." We God conscious people therefore eat . . . without going into the details, we eat anything what God eats. That's all. There is no question of discriminating what we shall eat. We eat prasādam. That's all. So we are safe.
Devotee (3): They will say that Jesus Christ ate meat.
Prabhupāda: All right, Jesus Christ took meat, but Jesus Christ never said that you maintain slaughterhouse. Is there any Bible, anything?
