A vegetarian's response to recent lifestyle bans:AGAINST IT

Before anything else, lets start with an elementary question
What's the difference between human and animal?

There are basically 2 differences

1) They don't have the resources like we have

2) They have neither voice nor writing skills to write poems/literature

Rest is same because we and them both
feel love,life and death(also the fear and pain during it) and frankly to the same extent as well.

Despite that, we 'The Humans' raise them in poultry houses, increase their population and in the end slaughter them saying that 'if we don't eat them their population will increase' .

And the only reason due to which we are not refraining from this are the differences 1 and 2 (discussed in the beginning) because one doesn't let them file a lawsuit against humans  and the other doesn't let them to tell their side of the story in a creative vivid way.

Now under the impression of all this lets more forward.
So recently Govt imposed ban on a lot of choice and lifestyle oriented sectors like porn, Maggie, non-veg food items etc.(By the way SORRY for putting porn among the list of eatable, but I had no other choice) .

Being a pure Vegetarian(By Choice and not because of religion) I always thought that a law against non-veg items would be a good thing.

But due to some weird reason when I actually heard about that becoming a real thing is some states of India, I had mixed feelings.
Why is that so?

  1.  because I smell politics in it as they have only banned those food items which are exclusive to a certain religion.If Govt is really serious about this then they should also ban fish and chicken(In fact this sort of question was raised by Maharashtra HIGH COURT click here to see that)
  2. Even if they ban the whole 'Non-Veg Franchise' ,it won't be a good thing because like most of the tough ideologies to follow 'vegan' can't be imposed just like that!
    To propagate an ideology properly we need to inspire people instead of forcefully making them accept that
  3. Such bans are ineffective because they only create a 'legal effect' not a psychological one
    due to which people who consume non-veg products will still do that by means of illegal third parties which by the way will also increase graft.
  4. A person's lifestyle weather watching porn or eating meat can only be changed by reasoning with them on the topic and inspiring them.
    And if, even after that they don't agree with you then you can't do anything else.That's the price you have to pay for living in a democracy and if you don't want to pay that price then you should consider living in a monarchy or dictatorial.
