Do sapient animal-people eat meat?
14 years ago
General
Humans do, but we don't count. Not because we aren't sapient animal-people, we totally are. Just because we have the unique privilege of being the only sapient animal-people.
No, I'm talking about a world populated by furries.
Perhaps in a world filled with furries there would also be animals without the spark of anthropomorphic intelligence, incapable of speech and without a sense of self. But how appetizing would these creatures be if they looked like a four legged version of your neighbor Robert? Maybe they would look like cow-sized featureless slugs, so it wouldn't be too bad; but then again, slug isn't very appetizing either.
Maybe, though, seeing the commonality with all living creatures furries would be vegetarian. But then carnivorous species would be fucked.

though the only trouble i could see with any speciese would be bulls...cuase, their beef, you know x.x
anthropmorphically speaking of course.
lol
Dietwise, herbivores can, in some way, have the same meals as omni/carnivores. At this point, there is a decent replacement for meat which is served to those who don't eat meat.
I'm an insectivore, personally, so it's really only an issue when I run into an anthroporphic moth.
And I've seen a few of those.
Tasty, sexy, tasty moths.
I guess it could be similar to humans eating monkeys. Sure it's a little odd but there's nothing wrong with it in essence. I do imagine people would be a little 'meh' about eating the species they're based off of, kind of like how humans are 'meh' about eating monkeys.
To reiterate on the first sentence, there would be some manner in which they would find themselves different (shorter fur, different ear shape... thumbs? ect) which would allow them to separate themselves from their animal counterparts psychologically and thus making it 'ok'
If everyone who was organic was sapient, then I'd wonder who made the world in such a manner since that'd mean two sapient creatures were formed at the same time with one eating the other: and given their sapient base there would be knowledge of their origination: possibly in detail.
