Can't ask everyone in the country to become vegetarian: SC


New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday said it can't pass order asking everyone in the country to become vegetarian.

"Do you want everybody in this country to be vegetarian?" an SC Bench asked the PIL petitioner-organization urging the court to ban the "barbaric" trade in meat or leather whether for export or consumption within the country.

The Bench comprising Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta, made obvious its ire with the prayer of the petitioner 'Healthy, Wealthy, Ethical, World-Guide India Trust.' The court refused to hold an urgent hearing in the matter and adjourned it till February.

The petitioner organisation has sought direction to the Centre, states or their agencies that they should immediately stop the production, sale or trading in raw leather and other related products for exports or domestic trade.

"The Central state governments, Union Territories and their agencies cannot and should not run, promote, encourage, finance, help, assist or involve themselves in the meat trade in any form or manner, be it directly or indirectly running and operating slaughter houses, or any activity involving the raising and killing of any living creature for their flesh as food," said the petition.

The petitioner organisation has moved another petition seeking curbs on the hazardous chemical farming as it was against the farmers' welfare and public health.

    Thank God, the SC judgement is definitely in favour of the majority population and the common man or the "Aam Aadmi" of India.

    The petitioner organization could have included the plants and all other vegetation in their petition as those plants also have life. They should have asked the SC to restrict the human diet for mud and water.
    Lunatic organization.

    Why are vegetarian lunatics wasting the Supreme Court's time with a silly frivolous case? Ever since the BJP came to power on it own in 2014 fanatic people and groups have been trying to impose their diets on all Indians.

    No one must crave for non veg
    But moderation is the key
    Individual choice must not be birth compulsion

    First completely stop killing human being for any reason. Then stop raping and murdering young girls and women. Then support farmers and ease thier financial burden and encourage them to produce enough food. Lower food prices which could be affordable to lowest of the lowest. Then think about asking everyone to go vegetarian.
