'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921) · 1 min

Shortly before leaving Denver, someone asked Him about eating meat. The Master noted that birds have beaks so they can pick up seats while goats and cows have teeth for eating grass. Carnivores have claws like forks and sharp teeth for eating meat. Man, however, does not have teeth for eating meat. "God", He said, "has given him beauty of form and has created him blessed and not rapacious and bloodthirsty."
