Meat is murder - I understand that - but if it was murder? " It would be good to eat, then? The reason I was thinking of this was that I almost hit a couple of wild turkeys while driving to work today and it occurred to me that if I had not hit it to murder all their meat is free of the stigma of cruelty that Most patches of flesh. And I should be able to eat themwith good conscience. (In Wisconsin if you hit wild animals allowed you to store meat for you, so that would be legally complex. I suppose you can not try to hit them and must stay on the road, but otherwise ok ).
This example is hypothetical, but I have a real life that makes my point better. A colleague of mine - a vegetarian - hit five deer at once on the road, then donated the deer to a food shelf. Here you have a non-meat-eater to provide one-shot meat to charity.
I think that in this case, those deer eat almost virtuous.
This is fine until now, because basically I'm still talking about road-kill, tasty road kill, but road-kill though. And most just do not get meat that way. But what if all the meat that was consumed in America come from animals that died of natural causes? Someone should have problems with this?
Here's how I think it would work for, say, beef. Instead of cattle you have livestock community. These 'community of cattle' would be configured so that all they have provided a cow would need to live a long life fulfilling cow. It would be almost a location for them. They receive the best care available until gently close their eyes at the end of their happy life.
Then eat them.
