If you are a vegetarian would you eat roadkill?

Question

Afterall, it is accidental death and not a deliberate slaughter?

Answer 1

No because it's still animal flesh.Real vegetarians don't eat animal flesh including sea food(fish,crab,tuna)

Answer 2

I personally wouldn't, though I don't frown upon people who do eat it. The thought of eating an animal is quite quite rank to me, no matter how it was killed.

Answer 3

No.  Because a. it's an animal and b. it's road kill... that's digusting.

Answer 4

i think no obviously and what a odd question but its still a question right ? that seems so wrong on so many moral and ethical levels

Answer 5

No...We dont eat meat. If anybody ate roadkill that is really gross.

Answer 6

Do you mean like tomatoes and corn on the roadside?

Answer 7

I don't see anything immoral about it, but the idea of eating roadkill doesn't seem particularly appetizing to me.

Answer 8

Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh.

Where's your bezwic ID so you can give it best answer? Oh wait I forgot. It's that ID that feeds this one BAs.

Answer 9

i'm a vegetarian partly for religious reasons, and i don't feel that i should eat meat regardless of the method of death.  

even if the cruelty of factory farming was out of the equation that fact that it is the flesh of what used to be a living, thinking, feeling being is enough to make me say, "no thanks."

Answer 10

Vegetarians don't eat meat no matter how it was killed.  I would only eat roadkill if it was an apple that got hit by a car and it was still intact.  

The only way I would ever eat meat was if I was stranded somewhere and it was a choice between life or death.  Even then I would go days before eating the meat.

Answer 11

umm no.

Answer 12

NO because under any circumstances- I still don't eat animals

Where's your other account, called ''Bezwic''? You always give them best answer.

Answer 13

no, its still a dead animal..

Answer 14

Um, no. First of all it is a dead animal and second of all someone ran over it.

Answer 15

This isn't very ha-ha.

You laugh at vegetarianism, but I laugh at your narrow-mindedness.

Of course vegetarians don't eat ANY dead (or living) animals. This is quite obvious.

Answer 16

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals.  And deliberate slaughter is not the only reason for that.  If someone wanted to limit their meat intake to roadkill, they'd certainly be a more ethical meat eater than someone supporting factory farming, but they wouldn't be a vegetarian.

Answer 17

No I couldn't eat any animal, I would rather eat the weeds that grow on the side of the road!

Answer 18

Well,maybe a little less meat would unclog your brain,as you clearly cant tell the difference between a veggie and a dead animal eater.

But,i know you only asking to get a rise from people.

So..... do you actually have a life?

Answer 19

I don't think there's anything unethical about eating roadkill. The animals weren't intensively confined, abused, or deliberately slaughtered.

However, roadkill is completely unappetizing to me, so I prefer to stick to vegetarian foods :)

Answer 20

obviously not because its still a animal regardless thats what a vegetarian means NO ANIMALS

Answer 21

No, firstly I'm not a vegetarian for moral reasons only but also because I actually dislike the taste of meat.

Secondly, roadkill is likely to be carrying some sort of disease and, what's more, has been lying in a filthy road. Eating it is not exactly hygienic.
