Dear Anon,

What you mentioned would depend on a person's belief or religious belief and how strong is one's belief.

For example, when you mentioned `killing' of animals, and one has strong buddhist beliefs, then one should avoid what you had mentioned below.

Even in other religions like Muslims, they also have a ritual for `praying' before slaughtering animals. Muslims only eat food that are certified "Halal" in this manner.

Therefore, it depends on how `strong' is your beliefs.

Most of the time, nowadays maybe because of convenience, animals are pre slaughtered and we buy them, cleaned and `ready' so this should not be a major issue or concern for us.

Some religions belief in reincarnation and "we may end up" reincarnated as a specific animaal or insect. This is up to indiviudal beliefs.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
