    I would say yes. Plants feed off of the bodies of dead lions according to this animated documentary I saw, and that doesn’t make them any less vegan. Then again, I’m not a vegan, so I might be entirely wrong.

      But Scavengers feed off dead bodies too. Is Hyena vegan? What about crow?

        That’s an easy one: no, because they are animals.

          And what’s a human being? A mineral?

            Besides being cannibalism, I’m pretty sure all vegans would tell you that humans have sentience greater than, if not on par with, the average animal. So eating one would not be vegan

              Humans overrate themselves.

                Then they overate veganism first and foremost

            I think the average vegan response would be “no thanks but Godspeed to you”
