"The Vedas abound in both injunctions and prohibitions. It is the prohibitions not the injunctions which lead to evil consequences. If one trespasses prohibitions anartha is produced. So artha and anartha are the two opposite results emerging from the sacrifices — the former out of the injunctions and the latter when prohibitions are trespassed. So killing of animals is not in itself bad. What is bad is its result and that will bedecided by the vedas themselves."
