If there was a severe drought or another similar unexpected natural disaster and

several animals died. Is it ethical to eat their meat ? Please share your

opinion.

 

Thanks.

I don't think it would be unethical because the animal has died naturally -

you have not caused it to die. I think that most of us would try to find

vegetable food first though.

Would you really want to!?!?!?! At this point anything animal derived just turns my stomach. To me thats eating meat and not any where near vegan or vegetarian. But I would like to pose a similar question: Is eating humans (cannibalism) considered not being vegan? Just a lil inquiry. Peace. Ginorvijay07 wrote:

Eating humans has happened in the US. Some early settlers were stranded in the

hills in Calif. in winter. Some of their members sacrificed themselves so that

the others could survive on their meat. There was a lot drawn for this purpose.

 

Wish I had the exact reference for this.

It's not within my standard of ethics, however, to each their own. I cannot forsee ever eating meat again unless it was that or starve to death, which is rather unlikely. Personally, I don't think it's ever ethical to eat animals, as they are not ours to do whatever with, yada, yada, yada. Plus, it's just gross.

Well, humans are animals, so I would have to say no. Sometimes I chew my fingernails, though, and I don't think those are technically vegan either.

It was the Donner Party. Here is a good reference from public television.

if you are speaking of the donner party of 1846/47....yer sorta correct

but they ate the dead of those who had already straved/frozen to death..

 

cannabilism has been a common practice throughout human history..

 

and of course you can get kuru, a variant of Crutzfeld-Jacob from it like the

fore' tribe in new guinea did..

I wouldn't call it unethical. However, I wouldn't say it was necessarily

desirable.

Hi Peter

 

> Is it ethical to violate another beings remains? certainly not moral in my book.

 

That's a very interesting question! I think a lot of that would come down to spiritual beliefs... for instance, I believe that the body is completely irrelevant once the person is dead, so would not consider it unethical or immoral to "violate" the remains of another being. Alternatively, if you have a spiritual belief which considers the body to be more significant than that, it is quite easy to see how it would be considered immoral.

Maybe I should have said irreverant? is there such a word?........my brain hurts.

I certainly would`nt condone body snatching/grave robbing/eating another sentient beings remains, and would`nt class it as civilised behaviour. Personal opinion of my life in my bubble, so don`t have another go at me please!, and yes , who am I to suggest what is civilised, I know...just my opinion.

I agree religion/belief system would come into it, but I just was`nt raised to touch other peoples property without their permission.

Hmmm... so, the question is... whose property is a dead body? :-)

Legally or religiously?

I would consider the deceased families feelings first and foremost, and would like to think that others would do the same for me.
