佛說佛名經 30.57

30.57

佛言：「以前世時，屠殺為業烹害眾生，刀割剝刺骨肉分離，頭脚星散懸於高格秤量而賣，或復生懸痛不可堪，故獲斯罪。」

The Buddha said: "In previous lives, they made slaughtering their occupation, butchering and killing living beings, using knives to cut, flay, and pierce until bones and flesh were separated, scattering heads and legs, hanging them on high racks to weigh and sell them, or hanging them up alive in unbearable pain—it was for these offences that they incurred this punishment."
