For real, dead animals taste amazing when you grill them

You should try dog if you get the chance, Elwood dog farm has a low impact factory farm where you can buy Labrador cuts and some gamier breeds if they're in stock.

i know u are saying that because u think that would be bad but there is literally nothing wrong with eating dogs, also cats are good too.

My concern with eating dogs and cats (which I have) is how they were fed. There isn't a lot of health safety concern with those kinds of underground meat sources can sometimes feed dead livestock back to the populace and that can cause all numbers of prion and parasitic concerns.

TBH, I'd expect them to be a bit gamey, especially cats.

I mean I could but I have a nearly limitless supply of rabbits in my yard. Their fur makes great gifts. My plants love the compost I get from everything else. As a bonus the blood compost deters rabbits from eating my cabbage.

Funny thing, I can't seem to find any type of vegan certification that is concerned with the use of animal byproducts or waste in fertilizer. A few specifically say they do not check fertilizer.

Actually a lot of organic farms rely on blood and bone meal, manure and fish emulsion fertilizers. They're inexpensive as they're byproducts of other industries and are very good for plants.
When I worked in an organic greenhouse I often wondered about how vegans would feel about farmers using animal based fertilizers. We definitely told people what we used, as we sold those products, but no one ever said anything about it. I guess vegans can't control that so maybe it's a nonissue unless they grow their own food and use seaweed based fertilizer(more expensive) instead?

Elwood dog farm

Ok now I'm angry it was a joke. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find organic free range husky?!
