Guiltless meat eating opportunity for a vegan?!
Our cat just had kittens in my closet and we have taken the afterbirth when we were cleaning up and put it in our fridge. Because there is no moral issue with animal cruelty that would burden our conciences, I think it is a cool opportunity to eat a meal with meat in it. No suffering, it's just leftovers from a beautiful miracle of life - the birth of my new kittens. So does anyone on here have any ideas on how this could be cooked? Most food we eat is raw so I don't have much cooking skills, but I do have the following:
fresh ground cayenne pepper (from our own herb garden - totally organic)
Basil leaves
lentil oil for frying
himylayan salt
micro greens (from our garden)
bean curd
lemongrass
walnuts
organic garlic
coconut milk from a fresh cracked coconut (just opened it up yesterday)
any ideas?

Placenta isn't meat, but it is an product that comes from animals. Since you saw no harm in getting the animal products, then I guess you can eat it. Better yet, you can use it for your hair. It's full of protein and makes your hair really shiny. I used No Rinse Placenta for my hair once, and it made my hair really soft and shiny. I know this is off topic, but that you could use placenta for future hair use. Getting placenta means no harm for the animal. You just pick up the gooey stuff after a baby animal is born.
Believe it or not, some women request to have their placenta from their own human birth and eat it because of the high amounts of protein. Personally, I wouldn't eat something that is gooey and squishy, but you can.

Are you serious? Why would you even want the "opportunity". If you really want meat, have some seitan. Many people can't even tell the difference, depending on how it is cooked. Mammals eat their placenta so they have the extra nutrients to make milk for their babies. If you are really a vegan, why are you letting your cat reproduce anyways? Millions of cats are killed every year because of overpopulation. If you really cared about animals you wouldn't be so irresponsible.
Even aside from you being a vegan, why would you want to eat your cats afterbirth?
I'm also vegan. The idea of meat in general disgusts me. But a cats afterbirth? Even in my meat-eating days I'm pretty sure I would have given it a miss.
I'm not sure it would even be legal actually, presuming you're not from a country that allows eating cats.
you can eat meat anytime it comes to you, so why you're even pretending this is a real meat eating opportunity like you WANT to eat it, is stupid. If you wanna eat meat, go for it. PRetending your cat placenta is something you can eat because of no cruelty is just dumb.
are you for real? this goes against everything you've believed in for 5 years! why would you want an opportunity? i think this is wrong and doesn't the mother cat eat the placenta after giving birth? she needs it more than you guys do. this disgusts me.
I don't understand WHY you would do this. Cruelty free or not, what intelligent reason is there for you to eat your cat's placenta?
You could also obtain your cat's nutrient-rich droppings without burden to your conscience... do you plan on eating that as well?
You should leave it alone and let the cat eat it. It's full of rich nutrients she needs to rebuild her system after birth.
There has to have been another opportunity..
after reading this i feel real grossed out. but i would eat it like a fajitas!!!
So dumb, loooooool.
I'm going to throw up...
