Sikhs Living A Cruelty Free Life

[Sukhmanii 15]

Benti Sangat Ji, please please take an hour out of your day to watch this all the way to the end.

And ask yourself how you can be content living a life where you condone this sort of treatment to animals? We think that by being vegetarians we live a life free of cruelty, and no animals are harmed for us, but it's just not true. What can we say about this? Do you think Vaheguru would like this happening to his animals?

All questions that need to be brought out into the open rather than ignored...

Please note that in Guru Ji's time, things were probably not like this.
