When a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, not only is he not being hypocritical, but it is precisely because he is truly kind in his heart that he stays away.

It is understandable that a person slaughters chickens and ducks for food; but killing chickens and ducks for fun is a moral issue. It is also killing. The former has nothing to do with good or evil, but the latter is really evil!

In a word, before killing, you have to see why he is killing or not killing. This may be good or evil; but when eating, there is no difference between good and evil, because everyone wants to eat. Stay alive.
