    I would argue that roadkill is a product of human exploitation of the environment as a whole, so roadkill isn’t vegan.

    Also, if roadkill is vegan you know you’re going to get some psycho with a massive cow catcher on the front of his pickup who’s “vegan” because he only eats what he runs down in his truck.

      There is a difference between accidental deaths and intentional killing. Veganism is about stopping animal exploitation as far as possible and practicable.

      Accidentally killing an animal and eating their flesh is something completely different to deliberately killing an animal and eating them.

      If you happen to find a dead animal and eat it, you are not exploiting them for their life, just their dead remains.
