on their branches or rest there, at ground level or underground. He forgets that by destroying trees he also destroys many other plants, which also have the right to live and therefore to exist. He will have to answer for all these crimes before divine justice.

In general it is forbidden to cut down trees, because they serve as shelters for many living beings, birds, insects, ants, butterflies, caterpillars, bees, mammals, etc., but it is above all forbidden to cut down and therefore destroy trees bearing succulent fruits and flowers, as they serve as food for humans, but also for many animals of various species.

Sending animals of various species to slaughterhouses to be killed and butchered, taking fish out of the water and letting them die of asphyxiation in order to market their corpses, eat their respective flesh, are the most abominable sins for which we must answer. We can escape human righteousness, but we cannot escape the righteousness of God.

The Lord condemns the killing of animals.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person condemns all those who kill animals terrestrial and aquatic and who dare to eat their flesh, as He expresses it by this reflection to a fisherman:

“You must have committed the offense of slaughtering animals, hunting or in the course of your policy. To regain your purity, simply indulge in the practice of devotional service and keep your mind constantly absorbed in Me. The time is near when you will be free from the consequences of these sordid acts for all eternity”.

Serving the Supreme Eternal with love and devotion is the only value by which it is possible to gain favor of Krishna, it is the only path that leads to ultimate success in the consciousness of God.

Recover sanity and improve our discernment.

, in order to see behind each object and material that composes it, its true source, its true origin. We must all now see things and matters as they are, in their true relief, in their true complete form.

Understand for example that behind a piece of meat there was a living animal with a soul, a creature of God. This salutary discernment should lead us quite naturally to consider that behind a prime rib, there was a living ox, that behind a leg, there was a living lamb, that behind a ham there was a living pig, that behind a sole fillet, there was a living sole, and behind a slice of fish, there was a sea bass, a grouper, a tuna, a sea bream, a pike, a carp, etc.
