If someone comes to you quoting this kind of a logic that, “You know, if I am eating the goat or the chicken, then you too are eating the rice grain and the wheat grain, and the rice plant and wheat plant have been slaughtered. So, if I am guilty of violence, then you too are guilty of violence because you have killed rice and wheat. And if you will continue to eat rice and wheat, then I will continue to eat goat and chicken,” then ask the fellow to extend this logic: If apple and animal are the same thing, then animal and human being are the same thing. Eat the human being as well! And if you do not eat the human being, then extend the same logic to not eat the animal as well.
