Interesting. I guess that’s one perspective on death, but in nature it’s more of the decay and vultures no? Humans are a bit unique when it comes to how we handle our dead and how we try and preserve them and remove them from the natural cycle of life.
Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

From my end, I’m a registered organ donor because I feel that I won’t need this body once I’m done with it, and if anything is useful off it for someone else, then hell, let them have my liver.
However, an animal can’t consent to that and yeah, an argument could be made that who gives a fuck, it’s a pig/chicken/cow, it’s not gonna give a shit, but death is unfortunate for anything and I’d feel more at ease that the carcus is treated respectfully and buried than me harvesting it for food.

And such is the circle of life right. I also feel that if we as a species can move beyond meat, then we should. I can live a perfectly normal life on my current vegan diet, and if that carcus is then left for other animals and fauna to have, thus leaving the cycle undisrupted.
I suppose what I’m getting at is that I’d rather let the animals that need those nutrients have it, as I’m already sorted.

It is going to be eaten no matter what. The chance of it being eaten is essentially 100%. So i can't see how that's part of the equation.

Sure, but a person can choose to not be the one who does it.

I think i can understand what you're saying. Unimportant sidenote, it's spelled carcass

I’m aware. I’m not the one who misspelled it.
