That's an easy one: no, because they are animals.
And what's a human being? A mineral?
Besides being cannibalism, I'm pretty sure all vegans would tell you that humans have sentience greater than, if not on par with, the average animal. So eating one would not be vegan
Humans overrate themselves.
Then they overate veganism first and foremost
I'm replying here cos I can't find the comment you posted: I see humans as worthwhile as any other species but boy do we overrate ourselves. We're the most important creature, the animal that has to be better than all the rest. We'd go without eating if that were possible. In the end what we do doesn't matter much. Life keeps on going where it can and the spheres keep turning around.
