Buddhism says:
"Extremity serves no real purpose;Follow the middle path.
There is no difference betweenMan and man.
Cruelty against animalsIs the height of ignorance-life.
For liberation, forsake all allurements.Desire-life is synonymous
With bondage-night." ```From:Sri Chinmoy,My religion, Agni Press, 1999
