Eating wild meat accidentally killed?

Question

Someone in my village accidentally killed a wild boar when it ran in front of the car. The car following picked the dead animal up to take home and butcher. To vegans, is there anything morally wrong in eating meat from an animal that was killed accidentally. I accept that many don't eat meat because they don't like it, but many on here don't like the aspect of animals being slaughtered. Accidents do happen and I believe there is a distinction between the two.

Answer 1

Well it was not abused, tortured, raised specifically for meat, but still you are eating a dead animal, so it is still morally wrong to some extent. But for me of course I would never eat a dead animal, besides the obvious reason, the health damges it does are too far great, and I am not fond of the way it taste either. Where is your village?

Answer 2

Trolls can eat whatever they like.  Vegetarians and vegans never eat meat no matter what the circumstances.

Answer 3

i heard this first time

Answer 4

I recognize that there's an ethical difference between raising an animal for slaughter and eating a wild animal that died accidentally.  However, to me, meat is not food.  Period.  I don't need it and I don't want it.  Eat whatever you want, but no vegan is going to eat that boar.

Answer 5

Vegans don't eat animal flesh. The circumstances are irrelevant. It is indeed a better situation when compared to factory farmed animals.
