What Is Wrong With Eating An Animal That Died Naturally?!
I want to hear some answers for this argument. Thanks
Answers: In all of the vegan/vegeterians out there, they always say that animals should not be killed for food. But what about if the animal dies by natural causes. You did not kill the animal so why can't you eat it?

There is nothing morally wrong with what you do with the corpse of a dead animal that has died of natural causes (ie old age).
Take for example PETA there was nothing wrong with them dumping loads of animal corpses into a dumpster.
But to be honest, as whats his name vegan said it would be wiser to buy flesh meat instead.
animals dead naturally could be infected from some kind of illness...........or would have been old in age
i was just talking to my friend whos is a vegetarian last night, and he was saying that he wouldnt buy meat, but if someone gave it to him for free--like hunted the animal and killed it or something, he would eat it. its because of how the animals are raised for meat, and killed and processed. he doesnt want to contribute to that.
the only reason i wouldnt eat an animal that died naturally is because it could be diseased or something, and it wouldnt be good to eat that. otherwise, maybe you dont know how long the animal has been dead. its just not worth it...
It's unhealthy.
i am a vegetarian and i think that you shouldnt be eating animals even if they died from a natural cuase because eating an animal is like eating a human, would you eat a human that died of a natural cause? no. so i wouldnt eat the animal.
No way, i'm vegan and just think its plain wrong to eat other species of animals.
meat is meat.....even when it is dead....
If an animal died naturally it would either be old, and not be good to eat, or have a sickness, in which case it would probably not be good to eat.
Also, it is disrespectful in my opinion to eat an animals lovely body. And it's sorta gross to eat a carcass too.
I wouldn't see anything wrong with this but personally I wouldn't want to eat it because I don't see animals as a food option. Just like you may not see your dead grandparent and automatically think 'lunch', I don't see an animal carcass and think how best it would be to eat it. If someone else wants to eat it though then I wouldn't see anything inherantly wrong with it but it would probably be quite dangerous to eat something that has died naturally because it may be diseased.
I guess the main problem is that it's a dead and rotting corpse (i.e. unappetizing, to say the least). It doesn't really matter how it got that way.
An animal that died naturally would be bad to eat for many different reasons. It could of died of old age, the meat would be tough and gamy. It could have died of disease, yuck. The meat wouldn't be bled out good, it would smell terrible when cooked.
You're much better off going to the store and buy a young fresh cut of meat.
Flexi's right. There's a reason why meat animals are slaughtered fresh. There are instances whre it would be OK but they would be rare.
If you want to eat something like that, go ahead.
There is nothing wrong with it but no one that eats something like that is vegetarian. Not even if the animal begged them to be eaten.
-It could be carrying a disease
-you don't want to eat it
-it's ethically wrong to eat dead animals
-maybe some carnivore killed it and you would be taking it's food (or don't want to become the carnivore's food)
-some people would eat it
-ew meat
-health reasons (growth hormones etc)
Animal welfare is just one reason why I don't eat meat. The rest still stand, regardless of how a particular animal died. For one, a rotting corpse is a rotting corpse. I don't have to eat something I find utterly disgusting because I can thrive without it. Unless you were there the minute the animal died and "natural" causes didn't mean a disease process, you're taking a pretty big health risk by eating random dead animals...
