Srila Prabhupada: “So-called human civilization has opened many slaughterhouses for animals in the name of religion or food. Those who are a little religious kill animals in temples, mosques or synagogues, and those who are more fallen maintain various slaughterhouses. Just as in civilized human society the law is a life for a life, no living entity can encroach upon another living entity as far as the Supreme Lord is concerned. Everyone should be given freedom to live at the cost of the supreme father, and animal-killing—either for religion or for food—is always condemned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”

“KFC aims to provide 20 million meals to underprivileged children by 2020”
We are wondering WHAT meals KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) will be serving: Chickens, Meat or Beef?
“…raise funds to provide meals to India’s underprivileged children through World Food Program (WFP), Akshaya Patra Foundation and India FoodBanking Network”
Raising funds for welfare by selling more KFC chicken meals and killing more chickens?
PETA India: This footage documents the daily suffering of thousands of chickens on Venkateshwara Hatcheries in Pune, a factory farm that supplies fast-food restaurant chain KFC:

pamho agtACBSP,
GANGA SAGARA MELA KI JAI,
this is a chicken society i can see many so called humans already got the face like a chicken because they are going to reincarnate in a chicken body in their next life therefore they already show all the characterist of a chicken,the indian citizens who born in india in this dark age of quarrel and hypocrisy are the worse humans because their are spoiling all their pious activities by imitating the degraded lifestyle of the western countries,
they stopped to export beef now and india was the first country in this world to export more beef meat then the other countries before and it’s unbelievable that bharata varsa the bed of all religions got involved in the disgusting guna and karma of this terrible and horrible kali yuga age which make even the holy places to become a bad place materially
nowadays in SRI VRINDAVAN DHAM there is a increasement of drugs fire weapons and prostitutes dealers even in SRI RADHA KUNDA and this is very sinful to not speak about the poisoned sacre river of SRI YAMUNA DEVI i could still drink that holy water in 1987 but they can’t do it nowadays because they die if they just drink a drop of that poisoned water all the fish are dead because of that, we just wait with strong patience to see all the slaughter houses closed including all the booking shops of gambling alcohol sexy shops and tobacco which is killing a lot of unciviled citizens especially in india, we got not power at the moment to transfer this corrupted society at least in sattva guna but that day is stored within the time of this golden age

Antya 3.101 The Glories of Srila Haridasa Thakura
In the days of Haridasa Thakura, all the brahmanas worshiped Narayana in the form of the salagrama-sila. Therefore begging from a brahmana’s house meant taking krsna-prasada, which is transcendental (nirguna). If we take food from the house of others, such as karmis, we shall have to share the qualities of those from whom we take alms. Therefore Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu took prasada in the houses of Vaisnavas. This is the general process. The members of the Krsna consciousness movement are advised not to take food from anywhere but a Vaisnava’s or brahmana’s house where Deity worship is performed. SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU HAS SAID, VISAYIRA ANNA KHAILE DUSTA HAYA MANA: IF A DEVOTEE TAKES ALMS OR FOOD FROM THE HOUSE OF A KARMI WHO IS SIMPLY INTERESTED IN MONEY, HIS MIND WILL BE UNCLEAN. We must always remember that a devotee’s life is one of vairagya-vidya, or renunciation and knowledge. Therefore all devotees are warned not to live unnecessarily luxurious lives at the cost of others. Grhasthas living within the jurisdiction of the temple must be especially careful not to imitate karmis by acquiring opulent clothing, food and conveyances. As far as possible, these should be avoided. A member of the temple, whether grhastha, brahmacari or sannyasi, must practice a life of renunciation, following in the footsteps of Haridasa Thakura and the six Gosvamis. Otherwise, because maya is very strong, at any time one may become a victim of maya and fall down from spiritual life.
and still devotees think that IB is Prabhupadanuga.
