THE BAHÀ'I FAITH 
“Regarding the eating of animal flesh and abstinence therefrom, know thou of a certainty that, in the beginning of creation, God determined the food of every living being, and to eat contrary to that determination is not approved.”

~ Selections from the Bahá’í Writings on Some Aspects of Health

BUDDHISM
…ALL MEATS EATEN BY LIVING BEINGS ARE OF THEIR OWN RELATIVES.

~ Lankavatara Sutra (Tripitaka No. 671)
