With things like eating an animal (non human or human) that dies anyway, it honestly depends on whether your ethics are strictly utiliterian or not. If you’re strictly utiliterian, there’s no reason not to eat a culled deer or a euthanized dog. All I’m asking for is consistency, and that’s how I go about it, too: I wouldn’t eat a deceased pet or relative, so I’m not eating that deer either. I’m also not personally experienced in animal populations, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying that meat either way, since I don’t have the skill to actually make sure it really would’ve died anyway without my demand for the product that is its body. That’s just me though, it’s a different story if you’re more well versed in this!

What about my reply to your other question wasn’t sufficient? I’d love to elaborate on that too if you want.

I typed this reply before seeing the end of your comment. Again, if you keep being insulting like this instead of genuinely discussing things, I might/will stop engaging.
