'To kill and eat them is to kill my parents, and is also to kill my former body' ('To kill my parents' means killing those who gave birth to me throughout many kalpas; perhaps due to past karma they have fallen into these classes, so if one now kills and eats them, this is feared to be the case. 'And is also to kill my former body' means that perhaps in a former life one had fallen into such a class; if one kills them now, it is also like killing one's former body).
