Would a vegan eat meat if the sentient dies of natural causes?
That’s a difficult question. If someone is an ethically motivated vegan, then it’s possible that they would, but it would depend on the circumstances. If it was an animal that lived freely and died through no human interference, then perhaps. It’s hard to imagine this being too much of a regular occurrence for someone who isn’t going out looking for such things. If someone else was being paid to do it for them, there would always be the concern that it wasn’t being done as described.
An aversion to meat is certainly something I’ve developed and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was common among ethical vegans, as has been mentioned.
As a vegan, it sounds really weird to me that "lab grown" sounds somehow uninviting, when I consider the alternative.
Insects have a short life span, could die naturally and supply protein. Other than being insects, would that be an option for ethical vegans? I guessing that the insects would be farmed so that violates the "live freely" constraint.
Maybe I'll start harvesting truck stop grills.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
