29.27

The horse-headed rākṣasas replied, 'These sinners received the Buddha's prohibitions and precepts but did not maintain them; they plucked the fur and feathers of beasts and birds, injuring all kinds of creatures without ever a thought of kindness. Those who were captured had their spirits fly and their souls flee in panic, their piercing agony intolerable, their bitter pain unbearable. Yet these people painfully plucked their fur and feathers, taking it for sport and pleasure, utterly without compassion or shame. Because of this sin, they fell into this hell.'
