While Buddha advises against killing, Buddhists can eat meat.
In Mahakala Invocation, nectar & meat are offered, more or less.
It makes sense for me, in a way at least, that someone who wishes to self-awaken as Mahakala Buddha should offer meat to himself or herself.
i did hear on a Buddhist Lecture that Buddhists, perhaps Tibetans - i forgot who exactly - did eat meat, they had to for survival.
i read a lesson that Buddha ate everything offered, but i am not sure if and how true is this lesson,
as well.
Had insights that someday i'll cease to eat meat, but for now it's too early for that.
