Originally, or back in the Garden of Eden, human beings were non-violent and therefore did not kill animals for food and clothing. And now-a-days there are a growing number of Christians whose hearts have been softened by the Spirit so that they are now NATURALLY non-violent and therefore believe that killing animals for food and clothing is wrong and should be outlawed. I am one of those soft hearted Christians, we believe in a vegetarian Garden of Eden diet, after all, the scriptures, as well as the Catholic Church, teach that Jesus came to restore creation to its non-violent original condition, the Word of God says: "the lion shall eat straw like the ox". For those of us whose hearts have been softened it's a natural human behavior to be kind to animals, however the elite are still opposed to the extent of our kindness to animals. The elite of the Catholic Church teach that animals do not have rights and that there is nothing wrong with eating meat, even when there is available an abundance of other kinds of food to eat. Because the elite of the Catholic Church once claimed that indigenous people did not have basic human RIGHTS, and also because they still have not revoked the Papal Bulls that denied them their RIGHTS, it's therefore against reason, an essential component of a good moral conscience, for we non-elite Catholics, to put blind trust in our church's elite hierarchy (as most Catholics do) - when they teach that "animals do not have RIGHTS", they have a right not to be killed and eaten, nor have their skins used for clothing.

On EWTN, the U.S. Catholic Church's television station, the commentator of a weekly program called Christians who are soft-hearted and are therefore NATURALLY opposed to not only the legalization of the killing of animals for food and clothing, but also opposed to the legalization of products that are addictive and harmful, such as alcohol, tobacco and gambling, the "NEW PURITANS". However, he stated that because of our positions on these moral issues we are therefore opposed to "freedom". In respect to these moral issues, I believe that he, as well as most modern-day Christians, including most of the Western nations' elite, are confusing "freedom" with sinful hard-hearted hedonism.
