If Jesus wasn't a vegan, was he moral in doing so?

No. Poor people of this tiime could not afford (!) to be picky eaters, although the Jews did not eat pork.
There wasn't the same kind of animal abuse that we have now so it was different.

perhaps. why not? and the bible is qute flawed especially because of translation errors. in translation the bible says Jesus tells his disciples to 'give them meat' but it was supposed to be "give them food".
it's not hard to be vegetarian/vegan without supermarkets. people have proved that for centuries.
if he wasn't, then no, he probably wasn't too moral. however, at least the conditions weren't so bad back then.
and anyway, he can raise things back from the dead, why not a sheep?

Jews were allowed Meats/Fish etc after the Flood. But he was a faithful Jew & followed the dietary laws.

No, he was not because he ate fish etc. in the Bible.
Yes, he was moral because he made meat so therefor can do what he wants with it. That's like saying you are not moral for eating your salad that you made.
I am a vegetarain but NOT for moral reasons.

He certainly ate fish. He changed the 12 loaves of bread and the few fish into enough to feed a crowd. There was no way he was walking away without his fish sandwich.

No. Vegetarianism as a whole is reserved for people that can afford not to eat meat. I think a lot of the starving people that Jesus helped, would have been really confused if they were told not to eat the fish or sheep or milk they desired.
Life begets life; the key is to respect it and not abuse what is avialable to you.

No, the Jewish culture (and the bible now) actively discouraged the practise. Plenty of examples of him eating meat.

I doubt he was.
Survival was too difficult back then to give up food.
