DasYochid, if that is the case,and I saw a human being being kind to animals, preaching kindness to animals,preaching kindness to living things in general, and I looked up to and highly respected this person tot he point of attempting to emulate him, I would imagine going vegetarian a good thing that s/he would agree with and appreciate.
And no where in the Tohra does ????? say anything about “Thou Shalt not be more compassionate then me.”
Or does it?
