"Natural Law "

When a human eats an animal, the animal’s meat becomes energy for the human body, and the soul of the dead animal lives with the human as a parasite.

Since the soul of the animal takes nutrition from the human’s body everyday, the more animals a human eats, the more souls of animals that human will have inside him. The human will become old and weak because of the lack of nutrition in his body. Because of this, he will try to eat more animals for energy, but at the same time, he will also be taking in more souls from the animals. This creates a cycle just like a drug addiction. In the end he will die.

This law also applies to other animals, not just humans, when they eat another animal.
