There are saints living in the Himalayas, do they eat meat? No they don't. we choose where we are born according to our Karma. My Guru says, " Depending on our karma we are given a set of choices as to where we can take birth, who our parents will be, who our life partner will be, what kind of a life we can have etc. etc. Then from the choices presented to us according to our karma, we choose what we want". if in your past birth you were evolved and did not eat meat, then you may not have to take birth in a meat eating family. more the good karma, better will be your life.
They do not eat meat because they are saints. All human beings cannot be saints. The very purpose of live is variety. If everyone is behaving and thinking the same way then the purpose of creation ends.
The canine teeth of carnivorous animals are meant to pierce the flesh of their prey and tear it apart. our teeth are not as sharp as theirs. we use them to cut or break food items. there is a difference.
The canine teeth in human is also meant for the same purpose. To cut and break food we have incisors, molars, and premolars.
Did the world end after satyuga? or did it move to tretayuga, dwaparyuga and the current kaliyuga? Did evolution stop after satyuga? No.
Evolution is not limited to evolving from meat eating to vegetarian food. there are more stages of evolution. you are focusing only on the physical level. there are higher levels too.
kaliyuga is meant to practically show what happens when people follow a path devoid of moral values, when people follow a path full of material desires and such lifestyle and ignore the spiritual part of the life. it is meant to show what happens when we allow vices to control us. it is meant to make us realize the importance of virtues. Kaliyuga is primarily for those beings who have not evolved to such an extent as to realize this. such beings incarnate in kaliyuga to learn by experience. While divine beings or evolved souls also incarnate in Kaliyuga to show the right path. Then there are beings who have evolved but they re-incarnate to exhaust their karma.
After Satyuga and all those other yugas, we devolved. So if this Earth as we know it has to exist, then we just cannot afford to become saints. This physical level is my concern right now.
The world will not end if everyone became saints. there are those beings who have incarnated as animals, birds and other beings who have to exhaust their karma and then re-incarnate in a human birth later on, for further evolution. The Buddha supported this view. The Hindu and Jain scriptures too support this view. Also most religions talk about end of the world- pralaya and then a re-creation of the world. so the world will end only at the appointed time and not before it, even if everyone became saints. Although its destruction can be accelerated by sinful activities.
Look I love human life. Plus we have quadrizillions of bacterias and microbes which are still evolving. So animal eating is not going to end any time soon and Kaliyuga is here to last a long time. Hence the scenario of everyone becoming saints wont arise.
