Porphyre, le disciple et
biographe du philosophe
noplatonicien Plotin,
expose dans son trait
De abstinentia les
raisons philosophiques
et religieuses de son
vgtarisme. Lune
dentre elles est des plus
singulires : manger de
la viande quivaudrait
vouer un culte aux
mauvais dmons, ceuxci se nourrissant des
effluves du sang chaud
qui schappe de
lanimal au moment de
sa mise mort.
Le sacrifice sanglant en
lhonneur des dieux
serait donc impie.
