The Ethics of Eating

Before we go into specifics, we must discuss the ethics involved in eating various animals. Just because it is legal to consume something does not mean it is morally justifiable.

How far are you willing to go?

There are some practices around consuming certain animals that most ethical meat eaters would find unacceptable such as torturing an animal before slaughter. If this sounds like something you wouldn’t want done to your pet then maybe think twice about supporting these practices by buying their meat products at your local grocery store.

Endangered Species

Endangered species may also be avoided from consumption out of courtesy towards conservation efforts rather than preservation alone. Also note in no way should this encourage poaching under any circumstances! In conclusion always make sure what kind it was (and how much eco damage they’ve already done) before trying fugu sushi made with poisonous blowfish!

Animals To Avoid At All Costs

Now onto more pressing concerns – dangerous or deadly foods which look tasty but can ruin lives if consumed:

Puffer Fish

The puffer fish’s venomous spikes contain Tetrodotoxin which inhibits muscle movement leading eventually up until respiratory distress occurs! Only licensed professional chefs who have completed apprenticeships strictly lasting three whole years!!! consider them fit to handle preparing fugu plates due both safety risks AND price tag/previous experience required .

Blowfish As Sashimi

However despite being seen potentially deadly when mishandled international diners everywhere continue request controversial Japanese delicacy called fugu sort of “Russian roulette” supercharged with high-end kitchen flair.

Horse

Morally, consumption of horses is condemned in many cultures while also being plainly unacceptable to horse advocates globally.
