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.
I’m referring to veganism the moral philosophy, not the diet.
That’s not the question you asked
The answer is no, because the definition of the word. I’m sick of “vibe” people. Words have meanings.
But that’s implied. People aren’t usually vegetarian or vegan because they “hate animals,” but rather because of ethical concerns. And even so, if they’re asking such a question, it’s because they’re basing their understanding on the ethics and not the literal definition. Otherwise, the answer is obvious.
Buddy thinks the dictionary contains all the information he ever needs to know 😂
People don’t just wake up one day and decide they’re going to abstain from animal products for no reason.
Dude asks questions to people without doing the minimal effort of a Google search.
Maybe you forgot what community this is, chief.

Ahhh fuck you’re right. I thought this was regular Ask Lemmy.
Well I’m a complete jackass, but my point remains.
