A question to vegetarians (quote)

hi, would you eat an animal if they died from natural causes? -as opposed to being killed.

I'm no vegetarian, but I wouldn't eat an animal that died of natural causes. It probably wasn't healthy or too old. I also think the whole point of vegetarianism is not to eat meat, period.

No I wouldn't. Besides its useless to discuss, you couldn't create a viable industry that way.

Vegetarians don't eat meat. So no.

It depends on why the vegetarian IS a vegetarian, guys. If they're a vegetarian because the consumption of flesh is morally wrong in their eyes, then no they wouldn't. If they choose to be vegetarians because of the mistreatment of animals up until death (which would mean they probably eat fish) then I don't see why they wouldn't eat a animal that died of natural causes.

I personally think people that are vegetarians for any other reasons than dietary ones are idiots.

Why are they idiots? What the ****, that's a really crappy generalisation to make. Some people strongly believe in animal rights, and rightly so. Some people just don't like the idea of eating flesh. Some people feel they are more healthy as a vegetarian. That doesn't make them idiots.

Eating an animal that died of natural causes would do good for the earth though... theoretically speaking.
