Your analogy is :-

kill sheep : kill brother     Therefore  meat-eating : murder

I have read that Hitler was a vegetarian, and if that was so
you will now have to make the analogy

eat plants : murderous dictator     eat meat : peace activist

Both are not universally true.

Cain killed his brother because his brother's sacrifice was accepted
by God
and Cain's wasn't. Cain was jealous.

Genesis 4 : 3  - 15
Cain did not sacrifice a sheep; He sacrificed the fruit of the ground
(vegetables/ fruit from the trees). ie the work of his own hands in
growing the food.

It was Abel who sacrificed the lamb - foreshadowing the later Temple
sacrifices and Jesus Christ as 'the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin
of the world'.  John 1 : 29
