There is not a law against eating human flesh, but getting hold of some
legally might be a problem.

And at least they could give *consent* to being killed / eaten...

Which does not make it legal to kill them.

I think that says something then doesn't it. If it's not legal to kill
someone when they *have* given consent, how can it even get close when
they haven't!

One chap got eight years. A
German, Armin Meiwes, spent eight years in prison for killing and eating
a man who had given his permission to be killed.

Strange, considering how we don't treat people who kill *some* animals
the same way?

If you *have* to end your pets life because it's old and / or in pain
and no more can be done you often worry and debate and question and
then give it a small injection and it quietly and gently goes to
sleep.

If you just 'fancy' some bacon you can catch a healthy and young pig,
put it in a small cage and dunk it in a pit of CO2 and watch it slowly
go unconscious as it thrashes and squeals in panic and pain with
burning throat and lungs, before finally cutting it's throat and
bleeding it to death. This is the 4th most intelligent animal.

So you say. Except some of us would prefer the slaughter be humane, yet
you say you don't care about animal welfare while an animal is alive,
presumably as it doesn't assist your fanatical quest.

Yep, animals can be trained:

Which death sounds like it's done with compassion and benevolence (the
definition of 'Humane')? ;-(

Whereas you endorse religious practises employed in cruel animal slaughter.
