eggs ? the conditions I saw chickens being kept in , was one of the reasons I became vegetarian

Perhaps free range would be ok for you.

However, before this turns into another thread about vegetarianism, I was thinking about the precept of not killing in connection with humans, and wondering what practising Buddhists here think about capital punishment within a country's legal system ?

This is such a difficult question for me because my heart wants to be 100% against capital punishment but my head finds it difficult to think why a child killer should not be put to death. I know thats not vey "Buddhist" but I can only be honest.
