After a bit of searching, I found that it appears to be part of an even longer commandment: “Rise and rise again until lambs become lions” This is pretty serious stuff coming from a can of beer; all I wanted was a drink, thank you. The Bible, possibly, with all this quasi-Messianic, New Testament talk of lambs and lions?

She expressed her gratitude for those she kills in her book, as well: "When I first ate a meal from one of our lambs, I thought I'd be upset, since it'd been so hard to take them to the abbattoir. But instead of being sad or upset at the lamb chop on my plate, I was overcome with gratitude.

Eagle and Lamb by John James Audubon (1785-1851).

The interests in nourishment and in gustatory pleasure lead man to kill and eat cattle, fish, and fowl.

I refuse to eat pork, but eat grass-fed beef when I am making Persian food, and certain forms of chicken and lamb with other ethnic foods I consume. What if it's customary to allow guests to torture or kill one of the tribe? I, like you, am not a complete vegetarian. In fact, my diet is worse, but I do justify my eating habits.

We encourage kids to gently pet baby lambs, cows, chickens and pigs, but we deny them this loving connection when we serve animals for dinner by surreptitiously calling them chops, hamburger, nuggets and bacon. And there is no good reason to breed, confine and kill animals for food unless we believe that economic benefit justifies killing.
