By nature’s arrangement, fruits and flowers are considered the food of insects and birds; grass and other legless living entities are meant to be the food of four-legged animals like cows and buffalo; animals that cannot use their front legs as hands are meant to be the food of animals like tigers, which have claws; and four-legged animals like deer and goats, as well as food grains, are meant to be the food of human beings.

  Then why it is a sin to eat meat ?

 In God's design, one living being is the food of other living beings. Then how can we say He is compassionate ?

   Lord Krishna never spoke on the topic of animal killing and meat eating. Nor did Lord Rama.

   Moreover they hunted animals in the forest. ( May be Kshatriya Dharma ).

    Lord Krishna silently watched, when arjuna hunted down many birds trying to escape during Khandava dahana.

   Only devotees like Prabhupada , bhishma and narada showed compassion to animals.

    It seems that devotees are more  compassionate than Him.

    I am wondering, when God himself is indifferent  and silent, why meat eating should be a serious topic among devotees ?
