All monk should be vegetarian!

1, from religious perspective !

As a Buddhist monk we should not eat meat because in teachings on Buddha prohibits
taking the life of any person or animals , and also we believe that all sentient
beings has been our mother in past life , The Buddhist ethical philosophy places a
strong emphasis on avoiding causing harm to others, as well as maintaining harmony,
compassion, and self-control.This is not limited to interactions with other
individuals in any way. When the Buddha taught that one should not cause harm to
others, he did not limit this concept to harming other people.He had no intention
of endangering anyone's life in any way.This broadens the scope of the ethical
system to include other forms of life. The Buddhist principle of causing no harm
extends beyond human beings to include other living things such as plants and
animals.

In Buddhism, the consumption of meat is not strictly prohibited. However, there are
restrictions associated with the consumption of pork, poultry, and fish, As long as
the monk is aware that the animal was not murdered particularly for his sustenance,
he is allowed to consume meat !

can support 100 kilograms of primary consumers , and 10 kilograms of secondary
consumers , and only 1 kilograms of tertiary consumers, that means every 1
kilograms of chicken in an ecosystem there must be 1000 kilograms of producers ,

kilograms of energy than that eating a vegetable will give you 1000 kilograms of
