Reading Chapter 9 in the Book of Genesis, God says, "Do not eat meat that still has its' lifeblood in it." To me, God is saying don't kill a live animal for meat. To those that follow Judaism, it was translated to mean it's okay to eat meat, as long as it's been drained of its blood. That is a far off and barbaric interpretation. I don't think God wanted man to take the life of a viable animal. Period. If it was dead, from battle with another creature, or of starvation, or any other reason, its lifeblood is out of this animal. Because it was already dead, it was okay to eat. My son says I'm wrong. Please clarify. I am a vegetarian.
