cannibalism question

[HelloHound]

If an animal eats a person and you eat the animal, is that considered cannibalism?

 

[Jerynboe]

It isn’t cannibalism but I don’t blame someone for feeling squicked about it, especially if it ate a person super recently. Also assuming you don’t like… eat its stomach and the contents thereof.

This pretty much summarizes my thoughts about it. I mean, if a cow eats grass and then you eat the cow, you wouldn't be considered to be eating grass.

But I could definitely see people being uncomfortable with eating something that had even semi-recently eaten another person. I couldn't know for sure until I was put in that position, but I'd probably feel a bit icky about it myself.

Nope. Cannibalism by definition is consuming the flesh of your own kind. So if you eat something that has eaten a human, it's not cannibalism, just squicky.

There was a huge deal about that here in Canada a few years back because a guy was selling pig meat after feeding people to his pigs.

I'm also amused that this topic has just come up after my chapter for Crystalborn ended on someone asking someone else if they ate their friends....

I love it when people drop these random little tidbits of intriguing information like this!!

it's not, but I'd like to clarify a few things: First, it's no different, fundamentally, from normal meat. You die and feed a plant. A cow eats the plant. Your kid eats the cow. Not cannibalism.

However, cutting out the grass part, you die and are eaten by a carnivore, the carnivore is then eaten by your kid. The issue here is that most strictly carnivore meats taste gross. Seriously. The ones I've eaten tasted like ammonia, and from what I've heard, that's pretty common. herbivore (cow) and omnivore (pork/bear/etc) taste fine. ut strict meat eaters (mountain lions, for example) taste like pure ammonia.

No, unless you eat the contents of its stomach

So you're asking "Is cannibalism a transitive state"? Uh... I hope not. Though predators usually do not taste as well as prey animals... but then there's that whole mad cow thing...

Eh he was just trying to set up a wendigog farm...

The question has already been answered, so I'm going to say the opposite just for the sake of it. Yes, it's cannibalism.

By the way, men are gays because they have sex with women who came from men's balls. You get the gist.

Welp, there went the last remnants of whatever innocence might've been hiding deep within from the darkness of my sickening soul. Good job Pujimaki. I shall soon ascend and become the Demon King I always should've been, but just kept putting off until later.

Hope you're happy Pujimaki. Hope your proud. I'll be coming for you first.

Once you become a Demon King, I hope you will destroy this planet. And yes, I'm happy that I helped you reach Enlightenment.

I am genuinely a fountain of useless information. Some of it's interesting, some not so much. Only reason I know a bit about this one is because he was one of the most prolific serial killers in Canada and was killed by another inmate this year.

More like city/town or would it be a wendipig farm?

"Enlightenment" he calls it. I'm not the only monster in this forum apparently....

 

[Puji-Maki]

Nah, I'm sure that 90% of the people here in the forum are monsters. They are just trying to hide it. I believe they are worse than me.

All I can think of now is that Pixar movie, Monsters Inc.

And the movie IT.

Weird combination. See? The slow and steady corrosion of my humanity into the Demon King has already begun.

Nah, Wendigog is the plural of wendigo. It is a spirit (called Wendigo) that transforms the victim (into a wendigo.

 

[l8rose]

Ah, I do know what they are but I always thought that pluralization was spelled differently. To be honest, I suck at non-English words (and English words if I'm really honest).

If I hadn't done some research on the subject, initially for a class and then for a game product (that never saw light of day), I would mistakenly believe the plural to be "wendigoes" but the correct Ojibwa plural is "wendigog" (just as the plural of "ojibwa" is "ojibwag" - though both translate literally as "the people")

 

[QuercusMalus]

If an animal eats a person and you eat the animal, is that considered cannibalism?

Maybe if you ate the entire animal immediately after, but usually you remove the intestines and most of the other organs, so I would say 'No'.

 

[RavenRunes]

I'll eat whatever and I don't need labelling thanks.
