I know animals are Soul. Does that mean we are breaking karmic law when we hunt, eat meat, or wear leather?
For fun, let’s look at the other side of this coin.
Plants are Soul too. Research has shown they can feel pain. Need there be grower’s remorse at harvest? Does snipping basil leaves for lunch incur a karmic penalty?
Or does karmic law give a pass to gardeners, vegans, and florists? I think so.
So do what your conscience bids, because a law of nature requires all sentient beings to consume something to survive. Be humble about your choice of consumption. Don’t lord it over that of others. Bad karma.
Be thankful to have food. Thank the Spirit of Life for Its bountiful goodness.
