Context: The Buddha wasn’t a strict vegetarian ascetic. He taught mostly to wealthy city people who could donate stuff to the monks, and he apparently loved pork dishes. So this meme is a funny history reminder that the whole vegan Buddha idea is kinda off.

Monks and nuns are forbidden from taking food donations where they have reason to believe an animal was killed for them.
Later Mahayana sects were and are much more strict in their vegetarianism.
