समुत्पत्तिनं च मांसस्य वधबन्धौ च देहिनाम् ।
प्रसमीक्ष्य निवर्तेत सर्वमांसस्य भक्षणात् ॥
samutpattiṁ ca māṁsasya vadha-bandhau ca dehinām |
prasamīkṣya nivarteta sarva-māṁsasya bhakṣaṇāt ||
(Manu Smṛti: 5.49)
“Having fully understood the [disgusting] origin of meat and the [cruel] acts of binding and slaughtering living beings [needed to produce it], one should abstain from eating all types of meat.”
