: No violence against animals Yasmintsarvaani bhutaanyaatmaivaabhuudvijaanatah Tatra ko mohah kah shokah ekatvamanupasyatah- Yajurveda 40.7 “Those who see all beings as souls do not feel infatuation or anguish at their sight, for they experience oneness with them”. He who visualizes all beings as souls ( and not as woman, men, children, cows , deer ,peacocks, tigers serpents etc) in his mind , does not feel infatuation or anguish at their sight , for he experiences oneness (sameness or similarity) with them. How could people who believed in the doctrines of indestructibility , transmigration and oneness (similarity) of souls , as the followers of the vedism are known to be , dare to kill living animals in yajnas? They might be seeing the souls of their own near and dear ones of bygone days residing in those living beings.
