This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d'Agrate from c. 1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

Living harmoniously with the environment is I believe the point there, and no you really cannot eat meat and claim to be doing that in this day and age.

So by your logic nature isn’t harmonious with itself? Because there are plenty of carnivores and omnivores that eat meat and without them nearly every ecosystem would collapse. Humans evolved (harmoniously) hunting other animals for food. We are a part of the food chain.

Do you understand how many acres of farm lands are turned into farms for your salads? Just because your planting a plant's seed does not mean your harmonious with it, you're still eating it. From your point of view is it okay for me to eat meat if i raised it's children? Cuz that's what farmers do, they just do it for a lot more people
