Although it is true that meat can be obtained naturally from died bullock and buffalo, but there in too incessantly creatures of the same genus are born and by their churning and destroying injury takes place. He who eats, even touches, cooked, uncooked or any other kind of meat-piece, annihilates many genuses of the mass of Jivas. According to Jain definition, flesh of the body of mobile beings is termed meat. The production of meat takes place not only on killing of mobile beings but incessantly innumerable mobile beings are being born in meat. Therefore by eating meat not only the vice of injury to that particular Jiva is involved who has been killed, but also the crime of killing innumerable creatures is also committed who are continuously born in it.
Man is by nature vegetarian only.
Acharya Amritchandra and Samantbhadra prohibited meat eating at length. Meat-eating impure, immoral, injury causing and the cause of countless miseries.
