Comment on Ask HN: What prompted you to convert from non-vegetarian to vegetarian?parent

Comments

If you did it for ethical reasons, if for example you would find a rabbit or cow killed by natural causes like a big stone just rolled off from the mountain and hit the animal on the head. In that case, would be ethically ok to eat it?

These are exactly the questions that invariably come up every so often and the conversations I typically don't enjoy anymore, it got old years ago.

I'd say yes, and I'd say the same about a human (instinctual aversion to cannibalism aside). If I'd personally actually eat it or not would depend a lot on the situation but in most cases probably not.
