"You
must not use your God-given body for killing God's creatures, whether they
are human, animal or whatever." - Yajur Veda 12.32.90 (>10,000
-5,000 BC) "Hear
thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be not among
winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton
shall come to poverty: and
drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." -Proverbs 23:19-21 "I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for
us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for human beings
ordinarily to live. I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species. We err
in copying the lower animal world - if we are superior to it." Mahatma

- Padma Purana 1.31.27 S "Even for the purpose of a deity or
