Prabhupada: Just see. They can grow food both for the animals and for human being. Instead, they are simply growing food for the animals and killing them. Ta'ra madhye jihwa ati, lobhamoy sudurmati. You sing this before taking prasadam. The tongue is the greatest enemy, and greedy. Ta'ra madhye jihwa ati, lobhamoy sudurmati. For the satisfaction of the tongue they are risking their own life and committing sinful life to suffer later on. Therefore the first-class man's first duty is to samah, controlling the mind. If one can control the mind, that "If I can live with grains, food and milk, why shall I kill the ani...?" This is controlling the mind. They cannot control even this small thing. "Live and let live" - this policy they do not follow. "Live and kill others. Live at the cost of others."

Devotee (1): Srila Prabhupada, it says in the Srimad-Bhagavatam that the weaker are the subsistence of the strong. So therefore human beings, they feel justified...

Prabhupada: Yes, that is the... But where is the human consciousness? A tiger cannot understand this. He will kill a lower animal. But you are not animal; you are man. You should have this discrimination, that "If I can live otherwise very nicely, why shall I kill animal?" That is humanity.
