Let's say I thought your corpse would taste good and provide me with sustenance for a while and I killed you painfree and instantly.
Then that's not a good reason. "Because it's good" doesn't justify the kill. For survival? Sure, I'd give that a pass, even though I'd defend myself. I would understand the situation. And people have done this.
If you have this "no-kill" stance for animals, you need to have it for everything, including insects. I'm not saying you don't, because I don't really know, but I do know that's often overlooked or ignored.
A life is a life.
It's literally the same argument you're using.
You don't need to eat animals for survival.
I don't kill insects on purpose.
Yes a life is a life and shouldn't be wasted because you think corpses taste good.

On earth, death is as natural as eating other life forms. It’s how Mother Earth survives, not unlike how our bodies recycle dead cells and attack foreign ones.
So you'd be fine with me eating you?
@NotAPenguin @trashhalo @marx2k @reric88
You can try:)
Man, you're so weird
