Even if the animals dont have souls, the method by which they are killed are too brutal. I was born into a veg family. But I am staying a veg for both religious and what do you say- like the 'animal version of humanitarian' reasons.
sat means good. n sang means group/friendship. so satsang basically means to be in the company of good people.

No offense...
