"58 What if I made use of an animal that was already dead?

It is not the eating of meat that is wrong but the killing of animals unnecessarily. As meat eating is unnecessary and generally requires the killing of an animal, it usually follows that meat eating is wrong. If, however, you managed to obtain some meat without killing an animal (or by paying someone else to kill it for you) -- for example, by stumbling across an animal that was already dead -- then I can see no moral objection to your eating it. Of course this also applies to human meat.

Recent archeological evidence suggests that early humans were much more inclined toward scavenging than hunting.

59 What about honey?

Bees are astoundingly complex creatures, they have memory and an ability to apply it to novel situations. They have an intricate social structure and are able to communicate detailed information to each other.

Millions upon millions of bees are killed every year in commercial honey production both intentionally and unintentionally.

It is difficult to say to what degree a creature so vastly different to us is capable of suffering but we don't need honey -- so surely it would be better to spare the lives of these miraculous creatures?"

I am at the top of the food chain and have dealt with it.

We live in the 21st century. We figured out how to eat fresh and not scavenged protein.

"59 What about honey? "

I like honey too.

God gave us dominion over the animals - I don't think he has a problem with us eating them.

The stupidity of these groups is really encapsulated in the names they take, Like "Animal Liberation Front".

Animals aren't "born free" into some Disney utopia. Nature, not man, is the cruelest taskmaster of the animal kingdom. There are no animal hospitals there. No humane treatment. The suffering of old and young, the brutality of fights to decide dominance, the strict pecking order, exposure to the elements, scarcity and famine, all apply.

But no. For Peta, animals away from man's "cruelty" are "free" to live in the wonderful and scenic natural world. Maybe they all have time shares in Thoreau's cabin...

"The Manual of Animal Rights"

Animals have no rights.

So, according to ALF we can eat aborted babies as long as we don't use a honey mustard dipping sauce.
