In times of crisis would a vegetarian consider eating?
meat?. i myself am not a vegetarian and those who are fair play to them. but with all the floods unusual weather ect; global climatic upheaval the greatest food source is the food that has a mind for its own survival. thats humans fish and mammals and birds and all the other things that go tweet tweet in the night. corn will drown, so will wheat barley and apple trees. so if push come to shove, would a vegetarian cudgel to death a calf stranded on a piece of water locked land just to survive?
i know i would, would you?

I know chimp may be sincere but I find it hard to believe anyone would die to keep from eating meat.
My brother who was a peacenik in the 60s always said if sent to battle & came face to face with the enemy and it was kill or be killed he'd drop his gun. I don't believe that. The instinct to survive is too strong. Especially in your scenario where the animal would die anyway making both deaths senseless.
I do believe everything eaten should be with thankfulness to a God who provided the alternative to starvation.
But her scenario reminded me of an old joke I heard. A guy was sitting on his roof during a flood praying for help. A guy in a boat & one on a helicopter tried to save him but he waved them off looking for a miracle. Finally the flood waters rose so high the man drowned. When he got to heaven he wanted to know why God didn't answer his prayers. The Lord said I did, but you just waved them off and I was too busy with others in more desparate need than you. They didn't care how I saved them, just thankful I had.
