I am amazed that animal sacrifice is allowed in our country. Buddhism preached ahimsa to all living beings.

Dear vegetarians,

What about the thousands of insects that are killed during plant cultivation? What about their lives? Don't they deserve to live as well?

If Sri Lanka bans animal slaughter for once and for all, then I'm ready to become a vegetarian as well.

Animal slaughter should be stopped for religious rites or otherwise!! why being biase? Instead promote 'Vegetarianism' in order to protect all animals slaughtered Daily!!

But who is consuming all the meat that is slaughtered on a daily basis in this country ?

stop slaughter of all animals. Cows, pigs, goat, chicken, turkey, fish, lobsters, prawn. Can you do it? Of course not, when you have seperate ministries for fishery and animal husbandry. This is a joke by cheap publicity seekers and time wasters
