Question for those who eat meat?

Question

Will you eat a chimpanzee? Why or why not?

Sorry, that should read "*would* you eat a chimpanzee"

Answer 1

Good question. Shows how illogical some people are. I give equal rights to all animals (human or not), so I don't eat or exploit any.


Go vegan!

Answer 2

I guess it would depend on how hungry I was. Lost in the jungles of Africa on the brink of starvation -- absolutely.

If chimp just all of sudden appeared on the menu at the nearby diner, I would probably pass.

Two reasons: 1) I already eat very little meat and have been reducing it although I am not yet ready to make a veggie pludge. So no point in adding new meats.

2) I prefer to as much as possible buy locally grown food, there are chicken farms in the area, chimp would need to be imported.

Answer 3

Hmm. Good question.

I don't know if I would. Never had the oppourtunity. Not alot of chimps in Arizona.

Were it to ever become an option, I suppose I would then decide. I doubt it will though... too similar to humans for it to become widely accepted.

Answer 4

It's not within the sphere of my cultural experience. Nor, to the best of my knowledge, are chimpanzees within the diet of any culture. There are cultures that eat monkey, however. Certainly at one time . . . and there still may be certain cultures that eat humans . . . not so much as a diet choice but as a religio-social activity. There is one culture that feasts on dead relatives.

Answer 5

This is an interesting question, not sure why you picked a chimp. I guess the likeness to humans? Obviously the answer is no, unless like Me said, I was starving to death. If that was the case I don't think anyone could say they wouldn't. Once your survival instincts kick in, your body wouldn't let itself starve to death and you would be surprised what one would eat. IE: The Rugby Team whose airplane crashed in the Andes Mountains and had to resort to cannibalism to survive.

Answer 6

That depends, there are a lot of diseases apes carry so I would be cautious about that. Also, aren't chimps endangered? It may sound like a stupid reason to vegs, but I don't want to eat an animal if it's endangered. I'm fine with eating animals if there are plenty of them, but I don't want to eat a species into extinction. If it wasn't endangered and there was some way for me to know it would be disease-free then it would depend on if it tasted good to me. I'm not going to eat something that doesn't taste good.

Answer 7

I prefer to consume human beings. MMMmmm. Especially lean 20 sometings. The thighs and biceps taste real good with HP sauce.

Answer 8

yeah would give it a go, I presume it would be like kangaroo, now thats tasty. I have also tried snake, bison, crocodile, turtle, goanna, and witchetty grubs. Man too many to mention, don't be scared of eating anything, you may find it to be a delicacy.

Answer 9

I'd try it, and if it tasted good I would continue to eat it.
Question for vegetarians. WOuld you eat lima beans? Why or why not?
I'd give the same answer. I've tried them but I didn't like them so in the future I will pass on them.

Answer 10

If I ate 5000 calories last night

Answer 11

monkey, squirels and other stuff, meat is meat, we humans are what you called opportunist. we eat what we can or what we need to survive. if you want to eat vegetables then good for you, but for you alone. don't ask stupid questions like would you eat chimpanzee. would you eat sewer moss?? its also a plant, its people's preference if they want to eat meat or be vegans. meat is a part of our daily needs, not a lot but it still is.
