Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi I hope that I don't offend anyone by my reply. But I'm being honest. I am not a freegan because to me, animals are not food. I have never eaten an animal nor plan to do so. In my mind it would be the same as " would I eat my fellow human if they died " Today, cannibalism is seen as atrocious. I believe that to eat road kill would reinforce the notion that animals are food and here to feed us. Again, that is just my opinion. I was raised seventh day adventist. I believe that animals would deserve the same respect that I would give to my fellow human. I understand that freegans do not want to be wasteful.. but what is the difference between your dog or cat getting killed by a car or another animal? To me there isn't a difference and the same way I would not eat my cat if he died, I would just feel sorrow, not hunger. That is my point of view.. I am no longer seventh day adventist, however as child I was taught that animals are my friends, not food. Fellow creatures that share the earth with us. I hope that someday people will come to respect the personhood of an individual animal just the way we respect the personhood of a human who has died.
