6. Shall not Slaughter Animals for Meat until they are about to die of natural causes. This commandment is not popular with meat lovers or the meat industry. But meat lovers do not feel the pain and suffering of animals during slaughter and the painful life they endure from birth to death.

Here is a Question and not a Commandment, which raises more questions, concerns and controversy on natural selection of species, natural balance of predator and prey population, ethics, morality, and evolution. Our heart goes out to the prey in predator prey encounters. Should we and can we control Predatorily Carnivorous Wild and Marine Animals Population, such as Crocodiles, Hyenas, Lions, Tigers, Cheetahs, Wolves, Foxes, Sharks, etc., and give the prey a fair deal which the laws of evolution and nature denied them? Should we and can we confine them to sanctuaries? Can we favor their hunting success with very old and dying prey animals shot with pain killer darts? Can we develop alternate artificial food sources for them, such as artificial meat and blood like food? Where do we draw the line in helping the animals in their suffering and pain? Should we interfere and is this within our reach? This is a good topic for discussion for animal rights activists who share the pain and suffering of prey which get eaten while they are still alive, sometimes being watched by the frightened helpless mother, with Bio Scientists and others concerned with ethics, morality, evolution and so on 71. Protect Mother and Calf, Pregnant Mothers and the Young in Predator Prey Encounters, in Water Holes and Rivers 72.

Provide Water Holes and Vegetation to avoid animals dying due to lack of water or food during the dry season 75. Expand Veterinary Education, Training and create more Veterinary qualified professionals 76. Offer affordable Veterinary service, compensate the Veterinary Professionals with subsidies from Governments and Organizations 77. No Experimentation with animals. Please Watch this Hell on Earth for Animals under experimentation video clip. Animals cannot be captured, confined or injected with deadly virus or bacteria for experimentation to develop drugs. Existing Animals should be handed over to Animal Sanctuaries or Shelters or Animal Welfare Organizations. The violators will pay the cost of maintenance. Research on animals cannot deprive them of their basic rights to eat, drink water, live, walk, run or fly in their rightful environment. Example mounting bulky or heavy radio collars to track animals needs to be approved by UEOG and subsequently removed from them. 78. No Logging, Use, Sale, Buying, Export or Import of Timber or Timber Products. Protect the Rain Forests, as forests are home for the Animals, the Plants and Birds. Timber is not a raw material. Find alternate substitutes. Only dying or dead trees may be used. 79. In Developed countries No Destruction of Animals Natural Habitat. Strictly Keep Under Control building new highways, roads, railway tracks, cities, villages, farms, or housing projects in animal territory. Provide paths through developed land, through farms, ranches or over or under roads for wild life to allow their migration freely in search of food, water or mates. 80. Reclaim the Natural Habitat, which belongs to the animals, which has been taken away by federal, provincial, municipal governments, businesses and people, abusing and disrespecting valuable animal territory.
