Is meat ok to eat if the animal dies naturally?
I know most farmers kill their live stock and raise them to be healthy and meaty but is meat ok to eat if they die naturally? I don't think it's fair that the animals die before there time just to supply more meat well they're still young and healthy. they still have meat on their bones when they die, just not as much.

Problem is if an animal dies 'naturally' it's more likely there's a problem with it. Animals kill other animals all the time you know. If many of these animals were bigger and stronger than you they'd eat you I assure you. You can thumb me down but you cannot deny the truth muhahaha.

An animal that has dies naturally would not be consumable. also the dead body of the animal would eventually decompose if it is left and in time would be used to feed plants. so when you eat the dead body your disrupting natures cycle.

The thing is, it's near impossible to know when an animal is going to die due to natural causes. Killing the livestock yourself provides the freshest meat possible to butcher. It is frowned upon to eat partially decayed meat. Even a cow thats been dead for just a few hours can pose some risks. So yes, it's ok to eat a cow that dies naturally, but it is much safer to eat meat from farm raised animals (plus farm raised animals provide more, better quality, meat) Now, the humanity issues behind slaughtering animals is a whole different matter that is mainly based on your personal opinion.

Well, it depends on why you became a vegetarian.
Some people become vegetarians because it takes so much more energy to make a ham sandwich than a peanut butter and jelly. It's actually better for the environment to be vegetarian. So many vegetarians would say no, you still shouldn't eat meat even if the animal dies naturally.
