If a vegan bites someone, are they still vegan?

Is there any legal mechanism to concentrate to be eaten by another person? ‍️

In a stunning reversal of white house fiscal policy today, President Toonces veto'd the Senate's bi-petisan economic stimulus bill by batting it off the edge of the Resolute desk, then shredding it with her claws. When asked for comment during today's press briefing the President responded only "Meorw." For more, we turn now to Cat News Network's Neko Nakamura, senior White House Catespondant.. Neko, this must come as a blow to the senate Feline majority leaders..

@catsalad@infosec.exchange as a vegan, I only refuse to bite animals (except for the occasional insect that chooses to travel visa-free through my alimentary canal)

humans are fair game

@catsalad Missing "depends on if they consent". Isn't that what veganism is about?

This is completely off-topic but adorable and ya'll might like it. It's a web comic...

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Depends on whether the biting was consensual, surely?

@lukeharby @catsalad They bite maple trees.

[theosvv@masto.ai]

@catsalad only if the bitee is vegan.

Wikipedia doesn't say consent:

[paveljanicek@mamutovo.cz]

@Hal_9000 @catsalad So... You want to tell me that I am in fact not a vegan?

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@catsalad I think vegans can eat meat if the meat source consents, so the real answer is "it depends".

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@catsalad
if they got consent, sure

[avatastic@avatastic.uk]

@catsalad yes, but kinkier.

[shinydan@mendeddrum.org]

@catsalad provided they got consent first, yes. there is applicable online precedent but it's a trifle squicky.

[jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange]

@ainmosni @catsalad Wasn't that a whole Thing a while back where a consenting person wanted to have a part of them amputated and eaten by someone else? I don't remember what happened to that - likely they couldn't find any hospital ethics board willing to sign off on it.

[verovitry@mastodon.social]

@catsalad well, it depends if they bite a human or an animal.
In the same way of thinking, if you make cheese with your own milk, is it vegan?

[rafaeldios@tkz.one]

@catsalad good question, !
