Kural - 256
![Kural 256](https://kural.page/storage/images/thirukural-256-og.jpg)
'We eat the slain,' you say, by us no living creatures die;
Who'd kill and sell, I pray, if none came there the flesh to buy
Explanation
If the world does not destroy life for the purpose of eating, then no one would sell flesh for the sake of money.
