According to Osho, violence against animals may look justified from lower, survival-driven viewpoints, but it is unjustifiable from a truly human, awakened consciousness. Humanity means valuing the means, not merely the ends; to save our bodies by killing we lose our humanity. If we choose inner, spiritual preservation, we must renounce animal violence and develop compassionate, nonviolent alternatives to nourish life.
If we want to stay truly human, we shouldn’t hurt animals for convenience; we should find kinder ways to eat and live.
