    Here’s a third pig that was not raised on a farm at all and lived out its natural lifespan, possibly being eaten by a predator but only out of necessity.

    It is unrelated to the human diet and all pigs could be except when necessary for survival.

    I’m not a vegan, but I will not eat farmed meat. I will eat locally hunted venison, but only because around here if the deer population is not culled, due to the fact that European settlers killed off all of their predators, the ensuing population boom would be an ecological disaster and I would rather the deer not go to waste.

    If I lived somewhere where that was not an issue or there wasn’t a similar issue (I would be willing to eat hunted rabbit in Australia), I would not eat meat.
