Is it moral to eat meat? ***Constructive Discussion ONLY***

As a vegetarian I would do my best to find someone who would butcher/use it. I don't eat meat, but I also don't believe in wasting, either. It could feed someone, and if it died, that's what I would want it to do.

I have one question what is a vagen.

A Vegan is a New Age term for vegetarian.

We like to have specific titles for everything, in this age of "specialization." For example, urban males are now called Metro-Sexuals. Country dwelling folks are generally called "Rednecks," and so on.

Vegetarians adopted the title "Vegan" to describe themselves. This has even been extended into sub-categories, most notably the Lacto-Ovo Vegan... which if your Latin is good, will be seen to describe one who eats eggs and milk products.

Humans share much with chickens, including our diets. This includes animal protein - we should maybe take a cue from them.

Actually, there are different types of vegetarians, Some eat dairy and eggs.....Vegans do not use ANY animal products.

I thats what I thought. So a vagen want eat eggs or drink milk, right?

Veggie here....... where I live if you hit a deer and kill it, you are supposed to call the Game Warden (or whatever his title is) and they come and take it. If I injured it and it was suffering, I would call either the police or a neighbor to come put it out of it's misery. (I am usually unarmed when in my vehicle, otherwise I'd do it myself).

Hitting smaller animals is awful but easier, you just drive over them again if they are suffering. The remains are always gone quickly, something always eats what's left....

Can you really eat an animal hit by a car? I thought if you rupture certain organs, it will poison the meat. I also heard you can't eat deer killed in the summertime because of certain parasites active in the deer. (True or False?)

Vegans are different from Vegetarians, Vegans use NO animal products both in foods and everyday living. (No leather, fur, feathers, beauty products with animal ingredients or testing, etc)
I know I couldn't do it. I can't really understand why you wouldn't eat an unfertilized egg from your own hen. They are going to lay anyway and if the egg can't become another chicken, why waste it?
Also I'm pretty sure I would die without cheese.

Right. They are basically the strictest of vegetarians.

That's not true at all....Someone else defined it, but someone who is vegan doesn't use any animal products (dairy, eggs) but a vegetarian does. A vegan is actually a true vegetarian in every sense of the word--just plant based foods.

There is no such thing as a "lacto-ovo vegan". The term is a contradiction.

Thanks for answering my question!

You can't hunt deer in the summer time here. You can only hunt them during the rut. I know we don't eat squirels in the summer time, because they have warbles. I would expect the same goes with deer. But when I cold snap come the warbles die.​

Ok, what's a warble?
