"There may be in time to come people who make foolish remarks about 
meat-eating, saying, "Meat is proper to eat, unobjectionable, and 
permitted by the Buddha."

[Meat-eating] is forbidden by me everywhere and all the time for those 
who are abiding in compassion; [he who eats meat] will be born in the same 
place as the lion, tiger, wolf, etc."
