If this isn't eletism - what IS?
It may be comparatively easy to round up some vegetarians (somehow a violent
act in itself), but expecting them to be non-violent as well is just asking
too much!
Or are they to be "carefully selected and screened"?
And what about all our meat eating brothers?  What of them?
And what you call current mass society?
And are your members to be non-smoking T-totalers as well?
Drinking alcohol may be/is more harmful to nature than meat eating?

Best wishes
