One can see ample amount of evidences for animal sacrifice and Brahmins eating meat in Vedic and Smriti literature.

When I pointed out this to a learned Pandit, he just said it has been forbidden in Kali Yuga. I didn't get the opportunity to ask him for the source of this claim.

Is this true? What's the scriptural basis for it?
