The following types of meat are un-allowable for Monks : the flesh of human beings, elephants, horses, dogs, snakes, lions, tigers, leopards, bears, and hyenas (panthers). Human beings, horses, and elephants were regarded as too noble to be used as food. The other types of meat were forbidden either on grounds that they were repulsive or dangerous.
However raw flesh and blood are allowed at Mahavagga.VI.10.2 only when one is possessed by "non-human beings" !!!
The Mahayana Buddhist challenged the traditional Buddhist attitude towards meat eating and believed that it conflicted with the principles of compassion, harmlessness and non injury to living creatures. They questioned how a bodhisattva, who wished to treat all living beings as though they were himself, would accept eating the flesh of any living being. They declared that men should feel affinity with all living beings, as if they were their own kin and refrain from eating meat.
The Lankavatara Sutra openly criticized the meat eating habits of the Theravada School and concluded thus;All meat eating in any form or manner and in any circumstances is prohibited unconditionally and once and for all. Meat eating is not prohibited in Vajrayana Buddhism also.
