Vegetarianism and Spirituality

 As we grow more compassionate we understand that all sentient beings on the planet have the right to dignity and respect.  We should care for them, not eat them.   The reason to go vegetarian and/or vegan is to give those rights to animals not just for our own spiritual growth though we do progress more in many areas of our life by going vegetarian.   Thus I believe that all spiritual organizations should go vegetarian.  They do not have to mandate it for all members but should encourage their followers to think about kindness toward animals.  How can we think about kindness while still harming animals.
