חבל על בן עזאי שלא שימש את רבי ישמעאל

Sefer HaChinukh
That we not eat the blood of a [domesticated] beast, a [wild] animal or a bird: That we not eat the blood of a [domesticated] beast, a [wild] animal or a bird (Keritot 20b), as it is stated (Leviticus 3:17), "And any blood you shall not eat.' And it is stated in another place (Leviticus 7:26) - "from a bird or a beast" - and a [wild] animal is included in "beast" (Chullin 71a). And the prevention of blood is repeated in many places in the Torah.
