If an animal dies of natural causes is it OK to eat?
Answers:
i wouldnt. Did you have an autopsy done?
well it could of been sick
Depends upon the animal. Some animals you wouldn't want to eat, but it would be OK.
by natural do you mean disease or old age? then i would say no. don't eat old meat.
probably not cuz it probably died cuz there was something wrong with it
i wouldn't attempt it
Sounds like it would be( unless it was sick prior to death)....but at the same time no need to tell anyone that is eating it what happened.
Farm animals have heat strokes and heart failure and people eat them if they are discovered promptly.
I'm a vegetarian too.....and if an animal dies of natural causes......I would consider eating it. But I think at this point, my body would not appreciate the meat in my system.
Of course not. Any animal that dies of natural causes actually isn't OK for anyone to eat. Natural causes is another way of saying diseased in some manner.
if you think about it traditionally no....it is not...if you dont wish to listen...then its your health,,,
enjoy...bon appetite...
Depends on how long its been dead.
I do not think so. Everything must die but is it okay to it? What if you die of natural causes would be okay if I ate you?
It really depends on your motivation on being vegetarian. I chose to be vegetarian because I dissparove of the way raising, slaughtering, and disposing of animals effects the environment, so I will say it is ok to eat it because it prevents the waste from being improperly disposed. However, if you believe it is wrong to eat animals in general, than probably don't eat it.
Wild animals rarely die of natural causes, but farm animals do. If a animal dies of natural causes then it's probably too old to eat. Besides, if you had an animal that long would you want to eat it?
not by me.
No No No.........Are you Crazy?
First......you don't know if it was natural causes, old age, sickness, disease.
I heard that some states used road kill (deer) to feed prisoners. Not sure if that's true......but who knows...
If an animal dies of natural causes, I doubt it would be fit for human comsumtion.
Well, you're not going to find a dead animal, cook it and eat it, are you? So of course not. You won't know if it died on a natural cause. If you do somehow know, and it died of...let's say a flood, then yes, All animals are made for eating (if you like it or not). Picking up beef from a supermarket, means it's been cleaned, tested..and so on. It wouldn't have any diseases, and it would mopst definitely be ok to eat (But I'm really sure it's been killed, instead). Farmers, and other people would most definitely NOT sell an animal to the markets if it's been died in a natural cause. It wouldn't be hygenic, and very dangerous. But in the view of a vegetarian, vegetarians won't eat meat because it has been slaughtered and killed. Everything died sometime by different reasons. So yes, in your type of view. It would be very hard to find one, though
No grandma dont eat the kitty!!
Wouldn't you be scared to eat it? you don't know what it died from.
I dont think so. If it died of natural causes that means it was either diseased or old aged. Diseased, aged, decaying animal flesh doesnt make any sense to me. Nope, I will take my veggies, thank you
Do you really want to eat something that just keeled over and died?
If you're a vegetarian the answer is obviously no!
If you're one of those who says that humans are omnivores please do! EVERY other omnivorous animal eats dead animals all the time.
EVEN THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN DEAD SEVERAL DAYS!
So please omnivorous humans, dig in to that dead animal! Don't cook it either, eat it raw like all the other omnivores!!!
*laughs* I don't know anyone, including meat eaters, who would just up and eat an animal out in the wild that keeled over from "natural causes." That is pretty nasty.
BTW, dying in a factory farm before the actual slaughter is not "natural causes" as they are not in a "natural situation" to begin with, the death was undoubtedly due to the conditions.
But anyway, even if some scenario existed where this wasn't a rather gross notion to begin with, then, no, as a vegan I have no desire to eat meat, so why would I do it in this case? Why do meat-eaters fail to understand that most of us are not spending our time crying over what we're "missing?"
If you're asking for yourself, then no one can answer that but you based on your own beliefs, but I certainly wouldn't recommend eating anything that just up and died for unknown reasons. :P
The Bible says don't eat meat torn by a beast so I would say NO!
