Vegetarisme Kristen

Vegetarianisme Kristen adalah praktik mempertahankan gaya hidup vegetarian untuk alasan yang terkait atau berasal dari iman Kristen. Tiga alasan utama adalah spiritual, gizi, dan etika. Alasan etis mungkin termasuk kepedulian terhadap ciptaan Tuhan, perhatian terhadap hak asasi hewan dan kesejahteraan hewan, atau keduanya. Demikian juga, veganisme Kristen tidak menggunakan produk hewani apa pun karena alasan yang terkait atau berasal dari iman Kristen.

Pesan Yesus adalah tentang cinta dan kasih sayang, tetapi tidak ada cinta atau kasih sayang di pabrik peternakan dan rumah jagal, tempat miliaran hewan mengalami kehidupan yang menyedihkan dan kematian yang kejam. ~ Bruce Friedrich
