Per the title. If an animal dies out in nature without any human involvement, shouldn’t it be considered vegan to harvest any of the useful parts from it (not nessicarily meat, think hide), since there was no human-caused suffering involved?
Similarly, is driving a car not vegan because of the roadkill issue?
Especially curious to hear a perspective from any practicing moral vegans.
Also: I am not vegan. That’s why I’m asking. I’m not planning on eating roadkill thank you. Just suggesting the existence of animal-based vegan leather.


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.
