Ok, first all of being a Hindu doesnt mean you cant eat meat (although most Hindu's doint eat beef). I have quite a few mates who are Hindu, and they all eat meat. I dont know enough about Budhism to comment on the assertion all Bubbhists are vegetarian.
Secondly, there is no evidence that I can see from the original post that the couple involved are prohibited by religion from eating meat.
The key point I am trying to question is the apparent assumption that these people have the *right* to be given a child and think they can go to court and sue someone if the state decided for whatever reason that they are not fit to be guardians. As long as the state does not base its view on racial prejudice, I can see no objection to them making any judgment like this.
What you be preferable? They just hand out kids to anyone without giving the slightest thought of the child's welfare? Maybe the child this couple may have gotwould have been 12 years old and already decided for herself that she wanted to eat meat, and the new guardians deny her this right and instead force her to eat potato and cabbage.... would this be right?
