<div class="heading">When there is no food, human life is more important than animal life. So the human life should be saved at the sacrifice of animals. That is another question. But where there is complete facilities to get very nice, nutritious food, why these poor animals should be killed? Generally, you should not kill. But when there is absolute necessity, that is another thing. But generally, this killing process you cannot support, and at the same time, you want to make the society purified.

So when I ask any Christian gentleman, "Then why you are killing?" they cannot give me any satisfactory answer. (pause)</p>
<p>Revatīnandana: How does the, how does the process of animal slaughter in the slaughterhouse as we find it today, how does it fit in your philosophy for, say, changing the society? Where do you put that in your philosophy?</p>
<p>Schumacher: Well, I think one should try and do without it. You can't everywhere do without it. It's like all nonviolence. It's a direction of movement, to try to do your utmost to go as far as...</p>
<p>Revatīnandana: So wherever possible, the slaughtering business should not go on.</p>
<p>Schumacher: That's right. But the Eskimos, for instance...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is another thing.</p>
<p>Schumacher: That's what I was saying, you see.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: When there is no food, so human life is more important than animal life. So the human life should be saved at the sacrifice of animals. That is another question. But where there is complete facilities to get very nice, nutritious food, why these poor animals should be killed?</p>
<p>Revatīnandana: But in the last week we've had a Jesuit priest, a Black Friar's monk, several other theologically inclined Christian gentlemen have been here, and not one of them has assented to that statement. They do not agree. They think that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They do not agree that animal killing is sinful. They do not agree.</p>
<p>Schumacher: It's a very long question, isn't it. I mean...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, it is a simple question. Killing, do you think killing is very good business? Then why it is forbidden, "Thou shall not kill."</p>
<p>Schumacher: No, but sometimes protection is necessary.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is another thing. Generally, you should not kill. But when there is absolute necessity, that is another thing. But generally, this killing process you cannot support, and at the same time, you want to make the society purified. You commit sinful activities; at the same time, you want to purify. How it is possible?</p>
