    That would be funny, but it violates the fourth tenet: “The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.”

      I mean the tenets really are more like suggestions otherwise more of us Satanic Temple Enjoyers would be vegan according to the first tenet lol

      “One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.”

        It’s the “in accordance with reason” part, it is fair to interpret the consumption of meat as a natural and reasonable thing. I don’t eat meat, but I also don’t begrudge those that do so without causing undue suffering (such as kosher butchering or sustainably farmed fish)
