Chapter on What Has Not Been Made Obscure Regarding Livestock
وَ أَمَّا اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَوْ عَرَفَتِ اَلْبَهَائِمُ مِنَ اَلْمَوْتِ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ مَا أَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهَا سَمِيناً قَطُّ».
As for the narration from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام in which he said: "If animals knew about death what you know, you would never eat a fat one among them."
