"Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?" questions God (Psalm 50:13 NIV).
This verse goes up against the act of flesh consumption, particularly condemning the justification of such practices through animal sacrifice rituals. It emphasizes that genuine reverence for God does not call for the eating of His creatures but rather a conscientious adherence to His commandments, especially "Thou shalt not kill."
Furthermore, it suggests that God desires His followers to reflect His own conduct -- eschewing the eating of meat in favor of a life led by compassion and ethical righteousness (cf. Go Vegan Singapore 2024.5.25)
