Non-Veg*ns: Would you eat meat from an animal you knew had cancer?!
It doesn't seem to make any difference, people still eat it.
I've seen some horrific cases of maggot infestations in animals at the livestock auctions. I feel sorry for the animal, but wonder about the people who eat them, most have no clue what is in thier meat. All the evidence of what is in meat is freely available in DEFRA guidelines and yet people are somehow suprised when they hear about it.
eeeemmmm whats this extra protien in this lamb chop
Are the people who say "eeeww no" now going to stop eating meat ?? The point of the question is that you will never know. The only way to stick to your answer is to quit meat eating.
Answers: There are many illnesses that animals can take to slaughter because they are not notifiable.

Hell no!
I also wouldn't eat one that had a name,
or one that knew how to 'sit', 'fetch', etc.
No!
I would never eat an animal that had a disease.
I would also never eat an animal that I knew.
Oh that is a good one. I would be put off by the yuck factor and nothing else. But if I knew what caused the cancer would be a different thing, was it from a toxin or likewise.
The thing is cancer cells are normal cells that have been damaged but let they still grow.
Then they are killed, they will remain as flesh, and I'm sure cooking them would damage any cell be it non-cancerous or cancerous.
To be honest I would still feel the same way if someone told me that the plant I was eating has cancer. (Yes plants can have cancer as well).
who would??? scary
Oh, ew, I never thought of that, but I bet a lot of the meat that we (non veg*ns) eat comes from animals who are anything but healthy. Food for thought, indeed.
Sure, they are easier to catch that way. Always go for one that's limping or coughing.
who knows mabey they all have a touch of cancer
no, but would you eat vegetables with steroid triggers that could cause cancer
The cancer is not in the meat. So, no problem. Would you eat vegetables that are fertilized with the cancerous leftovers of meat animals?
Let me ask you a question. How quickly does cancer get diagnosed in a human? It's not real quick is it? Do you think it goes faster for animals? If you can, please post a decent link to who tests animals for cancer and where you get the idea that they are processed for meat. But, if it's just a veger propaganda site, don't bother.
I find it amusing that some people are going "yuck" and "eww". If you eat meat, it makes no difference whether the cells were 'healthy' or 'cancerous'. Cancer is really just an uncontrolled proliferation of the body's own cells. And it's not contagious like a microbial disease, or mad cow, so there is nothing inherently risky or gross about eating a cancerous animal, compared to eating any animal.
Meat = Tissue = Cells. Cancer = Tissue = Cells.
I find eating all animals gross, so I think it makes no difference either way, period.
no!!! i wouldn't eat my dog that died of cancer, or any human, either. they should treated with respect, not consumed.
