What if someone ran over that dead deer. They killed it. Is it okay to eat a dead thing if someone else kills it?

Intention is what you’re looking for. It is immoral to intentionally kill someone.

I appreciate you sharing your moral perspective with me.

Do you have any fringe cases where intentionally killing someone is morally justified?

[–] amzd -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is probably cases where you could try to morally justify anything (like in a survival situation I guess?) but I personally would try to abstain from killing under any circumstance.

The morals around eating animals are luckily not that vague. You do not need animal products to live (say all major dietician organizations) so the only reasons people are eating meat is out of habit or for taste. And pleasure does not justify killing a sentient being.

you don't know what anyone needs. you're not their doctor or dietician.

All major dietician organizations agree that living on a plant based diet can be healthy during any stage of life including infancy, pregnancy, etc

the AND no longer has that position. the Australian association based their findings on the AND position paper. and there are other associations which specifically do not recommend it during pregnancy and infancy. even the now-expired AND position paper was mostly about the possible dangers.
