Her reasoning is coherent and compelling and hard to attack from the perspective of an omnivore (like myself). And if you are a vegetarian, or for that matter vegan, it is also not clear to me that eating your favorite horse (once killed for seemingly good reason) is worse than eating the flesh of any other animal, especially given that the latter would presumably have been killed for the express purpose of being eaten.Exactly! It seems like a much better way to honor that horse than to feed it the worms, flames, or an abattoir. Any squeamishness that it's akin to cannibalism is entirely irrational because the taboos on cannibalism are linked to the much higher likelihood of disease transmission if one eats a dead member of one's own species.transitive law, if A is to B and B is to C then I shall eat ...Should the law the symmetric as well as transitive?If someone has a carnivore as a pet (e.g. cat) and they die first should they put a clause in their will to offer their body to the pet to eat?it seems to be quite common for cats and dogs to eat their dead owners, and in some cases their drunk, passed-out, ownersAnd sometimes the compliment is returned.Fantastic ! "Theatre of blood" is a solid gold classic . Superior to Dr Phibes imho .
