In mine, human and animal spirits are separate.
Cruelty to animals still builds bad Karma (and payback) and the 3 fold

If he is truly killing for "sport", not for culling, that is wrong. If I
kill to protect my flock and the gods see fit to punish me for it, so be
it...

What is your tradition? I guess with a three fold law, it is some
form of paganism? That's fine. However, Buddhists do not believe in a
god, we are basically considered atheist. We don't believe in
punishment. We believe in cause and effect, and the Sanskrit word,
"karma" means "action." The law of cause and effect. IT's not
punishment.



And nothing in the bible ever said that Christ was a vegetarian.


I didn't say he was vegetarian. I said he wouldn't kill for any of
the reasons you gave.

He at fish for one thing.

Cheers!

Mmm.
