it depends on someone boddhicita to make a decision to eat meat or not
everybody will bear their own karma
everybody is still in the samsara it just a matter of time
some is slower some is faster than the other
but eventually all will attain Buddhahood someday

Sakya Pandita said that if you study during this lifetime, the fruits of
your study will be stored away. In your next life, as soon as the right
conditions are present, you will become the true owner of this treasure without
any difficulty.
Sakya Pandita also said, "To meditate without having studied is like trying
to climb a rock without having arms." He said that of those who try to meditate
on the true nature without having studied, only the most fortunate will be able
to realize the true nature. But those who are less fortunate might only be
meditating on alaya, the ignorant mind.
Sakya Pandita went on to say, "To study without meditating is like trying to
travel a long distance without having eyes." Therefore, we need to both study
and meditate.
It is true to say that there have been great Dzogchen masters who gained vast
knowledge without much study. The absolute truth is the nature of all
phenomena; therefore the realization of absolute truth is the natural result of
the elimination of all ignorance. The wisdom of seeing the multiplicity of
phenomena, which enlightened beings possess, does not only come from study and
the cultivation of knowledge; it also comes from the realization of absolute
nature, without any further need for study, practice, or
contemplation
