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.

Once you accept speciesism exists amongst (some of) us, *any* living
creature could be considered as 'just meat' and often are by those who
are at least exhibiting lower levels of logical inconsistency.

If animals could understand the concept of consent you may have a
point. They don't.

So all non-human animals reproduce by rape?

In the case of ducks, they absolutely do.
