Vivisection (1):

Q1: I would like to know of His Eminence Ayatullah Saeed Al-Hakeem the Islamic position on the vegetarianism and certain forms of animal exploration as vivisection, bullfights ..etc??

A: You can refuse to eat meat even if it is not recommended in some religious texts. Vivisecting an animal is allowed for exploring a scientific fruitful truth. As for bullfights, it is a must to forbid it because of the torture to the animal without a reasonable reason also it includes wasting the animal and it is a religious prohibition.
