No, as a Jain you should not invest in a company whose main business is selling meat or earning profit from slaughter of animals.

Reason in simple Jain terms:

1. Ahimsa (non‑violence)

- Meat business directly depends on killing animals. - Even if you do not kill, by giving money (investment) you support, enable and share in that violence (this is anumodana – approving/encouraging himsa). - Jain scriptures clearly discourage trades connected with meat, animals, weapons, intoxicants, honey, etc. as wrong livelihood (asamyak ājīva) for a śrāvaka.

1. Type of himsa (violence)

- Earning from meat falls under udyami/arambhi himsa – violence done for business/livelihood. - For a Jain layperson, some minimal, unavoidable violence may occur in normal business, but deliberately choosing a himsa‑based industry (meat) is considered wrong and avoidable.

1. Karma point of view

- Profit you receive is tied to the killing of jīvas. - That creates heavy paap‑karma because your wealth grows as more living beings are slaughtered.

1. What is preferable

- Choose investments and jobs that reduce or at least do not increase killing and cruelty. - Many Jains today follow “ethical investing”: avoiding meat, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, etc., and preferring relatively non‑violent sectors.

So, according to Jain dharma, a sincere Jain should avoid investing in companies that sell meat or depend on animal slaughter for profit.
