You've heard of omnivorous You've heard of vegetarianism You've heard of vegan You've heard of fruitarian But now, straight from the twisted brain of yours truly, here comes Amputarianism. Amputarianism fits in between omnivorousness and vegetarianism. You can eat meat, but only if the animal is not killed to produce the meat. You are allowed to eat animals that have died of natural causes, but also parts of animals that have been removed from the animal in such a way that it does not cause the death of the animal. Example: Chicken wings. Chickens really have no use for wings, since they don't fly anyway. An amputarian can enjoy the delicious flavor of Buffalo-style wings, guilt-free. Egg laying chickens don't really *need* legs either. Heck, they just sit in a cage all day anyway. Voila! drumsticks! Chickens are not the only animals that can do fine w/o certain body parts. Domestic turkeys don't need wings either. Pigs should be able to get along fine w/ one peg leg. Can you say "HAM"???? The ears on pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are completely superfluous in an environment where there are humans to protect them from predators. Tails too can be bobbed to make fine soup bones. Believe it or not, liver tissue grows back if a portion of it is surgically removed. Mmmmm, liver and onions. Amputarianism, remember, you heard it here first.
